You didn't finish the quote.
" ... when those pieces of information keep disappearing from the social media channels that we use?
No need to be an asshole, m'kay.
It is customary to not include every last word ever uttered by someone when quoting. The purpose of quoting is only to setup context, not to free someone from reading anything else. Obviously you understood that by virtue of you having read the entire text, as any rational person would, but then somehow became confused about what you just did?
Is this merely pretend confusion in the name of wanting to call someone a meaningless name that has no relevance to anything?
It's customary to include all relevant portions of a quote, not just the one's you want to use to denigrate someone with.
Do better.
It may be customary to include all relevant portions, but once you get around to actually reading the comment, rather than wasting your time sharing your arbitrary feelings unrelated to discussion, you will realize that said portion is not relevant. All of the information it can possibly convey is already contained within what was actually quoted. Repeating the same thing over and over using different words brings no additional relevance.
Your initial toot wasn't to inform or educate. It was a troll response.
Come back at me again with your bs sealioning and we'll have a larger issue to deal with.
The purpose of commenting isn't to inform or educate, it is to be informed or to be educated.
And you had every opportunity to do so, but unfortunately fell short, getting hung up on some kind of weird and hilariously unsuccessful attempt to put down another person for no reason beyond arbitrary feelings that have no place in a rational discussion. Shame.
Go get edumacated somewhere else then.
I did already gather that you too are just looking to be informed or educated. I mean, all talking humans are. Nobody sits around all day talking about what they already know. That would be absolutely pointless.
However, good faith participation will start from the unknowns and introduce the occasional nugget of information in which to build from. Consider it the cost of discussion. This is how we go from what is unknown to being informed through the process of what we call education.
But no nugget of information was ever offered in this case. It went straight to nonsensical name calling, without capturing anything that relates to the topic in play. What did you hope to gain from your bad faith showing?
