    You said something ridiculous and I mocked it. Believe it or not, your statements do not have any right to go unchallenged. And I attacked your statement, not you personally. If you want to make the strange argument that I bullied your statement, go for it.

      You didn’t challenge the statement at all, all you did was make a sarcastic quip to mock it without any substantive reasoning, then followed up with dismissiveness when pushed back on.

      Your mocking statements do not have any right to go unchallenged.

      It’s a two way street based on your own logic tree. Let’s stop wasting time with contextual meta nonsense.

        You’re welcome to challenge my mocking statements. Complaining that they are bullying when they were not a personal attack, however, is silly.
