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.
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.
In my opinion the phrase "I don’t know why you don’t understand that" is more aggressive than anything Branduil said. It is basically calling him an idiot for not understanding.
Later, you put words into my mouth and then said "So for you to say, who cares? That’s dumb to me."
Personally I don't think Branduil really drew any blood, but even if you take it that way it was to a general group and not nearly as personal as calling him out directly for not understanding something.
As to the contradiction, its not really that important but if you want me to lay it out, here are the events:
Branduil question why so much talk about 15th player (nothing other than that).
Then you respond with "Because any addition we bring to the roster requires figuring out who goes to make room". That is the first comment related to the concern of who to ditch. The comment I disagreed with that started this shit show. You then questioned why he didn't understand that. You then later replied to me that you didn't really care which of the 5 guys gets dumped as you want all of them dumped.
This is really not that big of a deal to me, but I'm not fond of getting lectured for aggressive language when I feel like you were at least somewhat a culprit as well.
