And I appreciate that. I also called you smart and a good dude two hours ago. I think you genuinely come from an honest place, but sometimes act like any little bit of criticism is a call to fire the coach and burn the program down. You’re a bit hyper-sensitive sometimes. And again, you twist and misrepresent my opinions all of the time. So please don’t act like I’m the only one that does it. It’s an effective debate tactic when all we have is this forum, and explaining our positions is harder than it might be in person. I expect some of that tbh.
I honestly can't think of any single thing that I repeatedly claim you believe or said that you didn't, and that you've told me over and over "no this isn't what i meant". Can you give me an example?
I respect you, so if I were to run off for years with a blatant misrepresentation of your opinion, and you'd told me over and over over those years that it's a blatant misrepresentation of your opinion, I would not continue to state it as if it was a fact every time it comes up.
I'm sure I have attempted to summarize your point and failed before, but I have never to my knowledge intentionally misrepresented something you said for years, over hundreds of objections and explanations, and continued running with it despite it being explained to me a hundred times.
Like, I made fun of you for being into Reggie Theus at the time, but I also recognize that what you really said was, it could be worse than Theus. I don't know if I totally agree, but if I were still going on like others do about how you thought Theus was THE answer, that's more like what you do to me. I wouldn't say that, because I know it isn't true - and I actively try to point out it's false when other people do it to you. I don't think I do that to you, but if you can provide an example of me doing it I'll admit to it.
