Which of these is an example of bootlicking?
Both. The last one should stun anyone.
I’m anyone and I’m not stunned. You write quite a bit and get absolutely nowhere while attacking anyone who calls that out.
How are they attacking anyone? They just said, "Both. The last one should stun anyone." That's not an attack.
You need to read the linked threads for full context.
I'm still not seeing it. I see some disagreement.
Your interpretation of tone seems to be much more generous; in my experience someone this verbose that goes brusque is attacking. Since you’re not OP and you haven’t cleared up any of the word vomit, I’m not super interested in debating which of our perceptions is reality.
Yeah just... I see no evidence of attacking whatsoever, even when I consciously try, so I'm not very surprised you don't want to discuss a nothing burger.
That’s cool! One day you’ll gain some empathy and understand other people perceive the world differently than you. Until then I wish you the best; you’re kinda playing on hard mode.
I'm just concerned that your perception seems to be so miscalibrated that you perceive attacks where there is no evidence of such. I imagine you feel angry quite a lot.
And yeah, I do have empathy, which is exactly why I realize it's unfair to make baseless claims against others. Seems like that's hard for you to avoid.
I’ve called out tone and provided evidence. You just disagree with my perception and imagine that makes me very angry. Any time you disagree with my perception, you think your perception makes anything I say baseless. It’s that inability to see other perspectives that’s gonna bite you. Good luck!
Who said I was attacking anyone over that? I only disagree with the emphasis being on that is all.
I would've definitely expected it to be stunning that peoples like I describe are able to maneuver politics so easily.
