I said that the statement in the post is meaningless since it grossly oversimplifies a complex issue. That is my whole point.
And it's not an attack (against whom even?!) it's simply a statement of an opinion.
It's not just an opinion. It's trying to counter or negate what they said. You directed your (attack on an) argument to either OP or the Twitter user.
It's an opinion, I express my opinion with arguments to counter the opponents opinion and arguments, and that's how debating works, you moron.
See, now that, on the other hand, was an attack and a statement of fact.
At least you folded and now realize what you originally did was try to counter their argument with a nicer sounding, more verbose version of "you're stupid." Take the L and move on.
Are you fucking with me?... ok, again; my counterargument was that it's such an oversimplification of the issue that it tells us nothing. It's not a personal attack or an insult.
How in the everloving fuck can it be that hard to grasp the concept of debating and argumentation?!
