Recognising that I’ll eventually point out that you don’t know me when you continually make baseless assertions about me is not insightful Wilma. It’s not a “line”, it’s the truth. If the way you try to mind-read me is any indication of how you talk to other people, I suspect you hear it a lot.

The flaw in this case is yours, not theirs.

Any assertions I’ve made about you are at least based on the things you’ve said in our actual conversations. Like the time you started talking about how I dismiss your opinion because I think you’re old, even though I wasn’t dismissing your opinion, I’d never once mentioned your age and, of course, have no idea how old you are!! You could be a teenager for all I know! Your insecurities come out as baseless accusations. And you appear to lack the self-awareness to realise it.

You keep talking about reality as if you alone are the holder of the keys to it. As if you see clearer than anybody else. As if anybody who disagrees with you or has a different experience is a liar or a charlatan. You are wrong on all of these counts. Yet you seem so convinced about this that you even extend it to telling people you’ve never met what they believe and what their motivations are as if you have any idea. As I said. It’s incredibly tiresome.

There is simply no way to have a productive conversation with you while you insist on doing this. And as this is our third or fourth conversation, and each time you do the same thing, I’m not interested in doing the same stupid dance any more. I have lots of other readers interested in listening as well as talking, to have conversations with.

Enjoy Thanksgiving. I’m not going to read any more replies from you.
