But I was not trying to talk about the larger context. I was answering a simple question. A question which seemed to be misunderstanding what the indictment was about. If I were not fixated on my point, then I would be accused of deflecting and buckshitting. If I stick to it, I'm pedantic but also more likely to stay on the original thing I wanted to talk about, so I choose to do the 2nd most often.
As for people making fun of me, meh. This is a tech forum where I am talking about non tech issues with people that I dont really know. I would assume I would get along with the vast majority of people here in RL, but, online people act differently. I do the same as the way I dig and pick at topics is to get to the things I'm interest in. Doing that type of thing in RL annoys people so I don't do it. So if people want to insult me, go ahead so long as you are staying on topic. I'm sure I might get upset a few times as I'm human, but generally I don't take it too personal. If people want to vent and take out their frustrations but keep on topic or having a good conversation then I'm game.
