Surely you wouldn't want to belittle me by being sarcastic in every reply to me.
You are way too good for that. I know it, friend. I can count on you.
lol, you thought i was being sarcastic
Of course not! Why would I? I know you are arguing in good faith and totally respect and support my opinions, as I respect and support yours, even if they differ. Right?
it's neat how you keep proving my point.
See? I told you. I AM helping you! See how awesome that is?! We're totally friends now. I can feel it.
what a narcissistic and self-centered thing to believe
But you said, "it’s neat how you keep proving my point." So I'm helping you, yes? That's a good thing, right?!
if i observe that water makes things wet, the water didn't "help" me by simply being what it is.
But the water is not a person you are having a discussion with. I helped you make your point. And I said I am glad I could help. :)
So did I not help you make the point you were trying to make?
i see you're struggling to comprehend the metaphor, so i'll explain: no conscious act or decision of yours "helped" me. i simply observed you being yourself. you get no credit for that.
i simply observed you being yourself. you get no credit for that.
I don't get credit for being myself?! I mean, who would get credit for me being me, then? You said I proved your point. So I helped you. Which makes us friends. So we're cool now, right?
you have an extraordinary need for the approval of others-- me in particular. one might go so far as to classify it as a neurosis.
you don't do sarcasm very well
