Some things count as mainstream and others don't depending on whether they agree or disagree with them. I'm not saying you use it like that, but it's probably a term to either avoid or clarify each time you use it.

That is again false information. Your definition is just a definition that you made up. It is not the true definition of mainstream media as per the dictionary so why would anyone need to clarify each time they use it? You are the one using a made-up definition so I can see where you may need to clarify.

As for the pyramid of debate. You posted an untrue made up definition of mainstream media. Therefore YOU are wrong. You can THINK I'm wrong all day long, that doesn't change the fact that you indeed are wrong and posted made up information. If I am wrong, please, by all means, link the dictionary source of your definition to prove your position is correct. Oh, wait.. you can't do that because you made it up.

As for shills, you said you have a motive here and don't care to enlighten us because you signed a nondisclosure agreement.

Please see the below definition of a shill

-> A shill, also called a plant or a stooge, is a person who publicly helps or gives credibility to a person or organization without disclosing that they have a close relationship with the person or organization. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shill

So by definition, you just admitted you are a shill. I have a screenshot of this entire conversation for the world to see. You can make up whatever you want this to mean, but it will never change what it is.

I'd say that he's either a retard or a retarded shill but I can't because of the Debate Pyramid, so I won't. But I'll be thinking it every time he spouts nonsense and utterly terrible nonsense logic and wastes our time. Too bad there isn't a good filter to keep his good ideas.

Maybe if /u/wizzwizz4 would just re-read all his comments 2 or 3 times before submitting them tediously unfiltered.

That NDA comment was a joke… If I were under a NDA, then surely that fact would also be under the NDA? Unless I'm misunderstanding what an NDA is.

Many NDA's allow a person to disclose they've signed an NDA. It's a little late for "It was a joke."

Huh. I didn't know that. Of course, it's obvious _now_… Retracted.

[–]SundogsPlace 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Doesn't work that way.

Noted.

Ok, you want to know my real motives? Well… honestly, my motives when I first came here were along the lines of "oh look; people are Wrong™, and I can show how clever I am by telling them they're wrong." This technique, of course, only works if you're surrounded by similarly-thinking people who are similarly sheep-like, and I completely understand why the people I was shitposting at were not graciously accepting my "words of wisdom".

(He told me not to bring him into it, but) JasonCarswell very kindly pointed out to me that I was doing this, and I have resolved not to do this again. (I've also continued doing it, but that's besides the point; at least I'm doing it less and stopping more quickly.) As such, I am now wandering around fairly aimlessly, trying not to be too obnoxious, and waiting quite a bit before I definitively decide that I've found an area where I can contribute, because I try to make new mistakes instead of repeating the old ones.

Have you considered watching and learning from people who aren't sheeplike so that you can gain knowledge from a new perspective instead of just bleating the sheeple drum?

[–]wizzwizz4 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yes. That seems extremely obvious. (Though I see why you're saying that, considering what I've revealed about my previous behaviour.)
