We are here not on the field of battle - trying to smash your opponent.
I'm not trying to win a battle at this point- I stated my intent to bow out, until you went off the rails. Now I'm just trying to point out that you are being condescending- a point which is apparently lost on you. Which is surprising since I have essentially said "You are being condescending." But if you tell me that you're not trying to be condescending, and that this is all just internet communications difficulties, then I would be inclined to believe you and let bygones be bygones and maybe just give you pointers on English phraseology and how to avoid it in the future. Because I know such things happen, especially across languages, and I have certainly gotten bitten by it before. But your repetitive snark has overcome my usual inclination to let stuff slide.
And Lord knows my Russian isn't as good as it used to be, so I can hardly be critical.
So, don't be insulting. Pleeease.
Well, then don't be insulting first. Being mildly insulting and then complaining when others are mildly insulting back is hardly adaptive. Which, again, was my point.
I never ever used such tricks like "*Yawn*, just shrill insistence" and the like.
Why do you feel free to use such words against me.
Again, I'm just following your lead to make a point.
Are you drunk? Are you high?
So... Are you claiming that this is not provocative? Seriously?!? Because frankly it smells of amateurish trolling to me. And while I can appreciate skillful trolling, amateurish trolling is just pathetic.
Look, we're both going to end up banned. I'm REALLY bowing out now unless, as I said, you tell me that what I'm interpreting as condescension was merely bad communication. In which case, my bad.
Somebody else help me out- am I being the dick, here?
