just because you can’t prove your claims, you start hurling personal insults?

that’s on you, not me

It's not a "personal insult," it's my direct observation of what you are actively doing based on my perspective.

no, it’s just an personal attack because you can’t back up your claim

I made the claim you are arguing in bad faith because from my perspective that is exactly what you are doing.

I state your original claim is untrue, then you tell me your statement should be interpreted as she was asleep before police woke her up. Then I present solid evidence that she was watching a movie. Then you move the goalpost and claim my evidence isn't explicit enough for you. You also present no counter evidence. I then call you out on arguing in bad faith.

How else am I supposed to interpret what you are doing? From my perspective it seems obvious you are just trying to win an argument rather than get to the truth of the matter.

From my perspective, I am the person saying "We found these facts. care to respond?" and you are the person replying "Everything in the media is FAKE NEWS!"

you’re making personal attacks because you can’t prove your claim that:

I state your original claim is untrue

and that’s your problem, not mine. making up lies about what I’ve said is just taking things worse.

What are you even saying? The text thread is all there. There are no "lies" to be found in my comments. This is clearly an actual ad hominem attack.

if you can’t tell what I’m saying after all of my comments, that’s not my problem. ive been perfectly clear.

Yeah, this is definitely a bit confusing. I think I replied to you on multiple threads and also wrongfully assumed you were the original poster of the graphic. I apologize for any frustration that added to the situation.

Edit for any future readers: Upon closer look, "bauhaus" and "BrooklynMan" have extremely similar looking profiles pictures, banners, and writing styles. On brief inspection, it looks like the images in particular were generated by AI. It's not a smoking gun per se, but it seems sketchy.

my advice: let it go
