You were a dick in your first post, dude. You didn’t “explain politely then I doubled down”. You were a dick from the jump.
My initial post was absolutely not a “confidently incorrect” comment. I am a dude that did not graduate with an economics degree with years of (non social) experience. I told you my interpretation and said what I thought was going to happen and what was happening.
I’m sorry that you felt like my expectations were wrong, but rather than call me an idiot and act like I am spreading lies, you can have a good faith conversation with a person you don’t even know.
Pro tip, don’t be a dick if this is what you hope for. Not everybody you talk to is a hidden maga operative spreading lies.
