If it helps, I don't think you're a crackpot or anything

I just can't tell if you're purposely being obtuse or not, but you're completely missing the point of why people found what you were saying dumb to begin with and would rather argue against them as if there's some objective fact for why it can't be seen as dumb, instead of just accepting what people are saying and that... You said something dumb and then double dumbed down on it.

But like, you still haven't actually explained why it's dumb. In fact you've avoided doing so thus far. You deflected my example but not my main point. I've said like four times that "OK, this is the crux of the matter" or "OK, if this is what it comes down to, let's talk about that" and all this other stuff. I feel like after all this time, all that's left is a proper explanation of what makes it dumb. I could be convinced to accept your explanation even, depending on what it is. But there needs to actually be one?

There's two possibilities:

1) You think I'm lying or "backpedalling" when I say "it comes down solely to me seeing the silver lining of other people's irrationality". If so, prove it. What have I said that tells you I'm doing anything other than that? What do you think I'm actually doing? What language would you use to describe it?
2) You think "seeing [or "celebrating" as you put it earlier I think] the silver lining of other people's irrationality" is still a dumb thing to do. If so, how?

Or I guess a third possibility I haven't considered, sure. But you have both said many times now that the truly dumb thing was me celebrating the fact that Nikki will be tarred with that brush. OK, fine. I've disputed it and asked for you to clarify exactly why that is dumb.
