Branduil asked a fairly innocuous question regarding why multiple posters were talking about something so much. Although not directed at you specifically, apparently it triggered you enough to A, make a statement that you yourself have contradicted, and B, to effectively call Branduil an idiot for not understanding said statement (which you yourself don't agree with).My goodness you are really determined to turn this around on me. Where is this stupid/dumb talk you’re pinning me on? Since you entered the conversation, I’ve used it once as a demonstration of a word Branduil used earlier in another conversation. I didn’t call you dumb and if you reread the statement without a predetermined bias against me you would understand that. Read the words, not what you think the words say.
I guess I didn't like to see what looked to me like a Mod/regular poster bullying another one, and maybe that impacted my choice of language. For future reference regarding your concern with aggression:
asking why folks are talking about something != calling an individual poster stupid
Regarding A) what did I contradict? If you mean I stayed on track with the conversation that was being had since the statement saying the discussion was about the 15th man moved the goal posts to a conversation not being had and I didn’t fully understand that since the statement was ambiguous enough and I assumed he was following along…sure, I contradicted myself…
Regarding B) now words are being put in my mouth and I’m calling Branduil something I didn’t say. Is the original statement made by Branduil not the first blood? Now I’m bullying another poster after he clearly started it?
What is your beef mvossman? You’re really reaching here.
