Whatever floats your boat, if you want to believe I was the asshole first go ahead. It's another funny incongruence that you'll give such leeway to the guy who stole your bike/bought a stolen bike, but apparently think someone disrespecting you back after you disrespect them is somehow the original asshole.

And to me the whole thing was a cohesive argument at the point I disengaged. Everything after that was just a mixture of reading comprehension tutorial for yourself, rehashing the original points in a more verbose, hand holding way, an etiquette lesson on spamming people for replies, and addressing a small assortment of new non-sequiturs.

My proposal is that you could have also achieved those results not being a firey asshole.

And you seem to be misunderstanding, my perspective is the result here is nil. You have been entirely intractable about both the general negative points of choosing to believe in fairy tale outcomes of real world events as an adult. And the inappropriateness of constantly inserting yourself into people's notifications for your own entertainment/ego-padding, to which I'm not even the first person in this thread to point that pattern of behavior put to you. So I guess technically I could have got the same result by not trying, yes, but that info is not nearly so useful to me as you think it should be.
