Why are people downvoting this? It’s true.
Not everyone can deal with reality, so they have to camouflage those comments for lower minds.
"Unassailable"? "Not everyone can deal with reality"? "Lower minds"? As Jane Austin said, "You tell yourself that if it gives you comfort."
The only thing downvotes reliably represent is the zeitgeist of the average user (and certain power users) of this site.
As for the rest, if you take offense at a little bit of undirected glib hyperbole, then perhaps seeking comfort would benefit you the most.
> More often, though, it means that we think your position is stupid, but it's not worth the time it would take to explain why.
Where did you get your stats? I'd like to see them please.
First you tried stating that "Most often" it meant that "we" thought my position was stupid. Who is we and how often is often though?
Then you quoted some words that I had used and made your opinion about them known. Not a great argument...
I'm left wondering what's so absurd? Feel free to go through my comment history, pick out something random and tell me how stupid my position is. I'll wait.
