Thanks for the corporatist encore.

By default I'll side with the other guy, he has arguments that support his viewpoint while you have nothing.

I'm with you Tom, but I'm not with your answer's tone.

A good rebuttal and further details might earn that as a snappy conclusion. Without it, you just seem meh at best.

He uses that because he has no answers. Tom's been more or less "debating" in the same way again and again in every single thread he's been in thus far.

I like him though, he has a tremendous talent for making everyone else seem smarter by comparison.

It's not a good look for those of us who stand on his side of any issue.

Maybe /u/Tom_Bombadil is a shill? He sure calls some folks are shills a lot. That's a pretty good sign he's a shill.

Holy shit! Maybe I'm a shill now too! Fuck this is contagious. Maybe if I don't use the word anymore because it's stupid and divisive I can be cured.

If only he had just voted or not voted rather than offered unsubstantiated comments I wouldn't be contaminated by the shillingles contagion.

Why am I not arguing for his side? It's a very complex topic entangled in manipulative bullshit identity politics above all, and while I know we're correct, I don't have the time nor inclination to unpack all dogmas and go deep to win over just a few little hearts and minds when I have the world to save via my other projects.

Or maybe I'm fully chilled now...

Yeah, I know.

I was over it after the response, because I didn't want to engage in +8 rounds of debate against apparently canned responses, which read like they're copied off of some lawyers email.

It was a waste of time, so I bailed out.

*failed out.

Won't you do it for the sick children?
