: I did not tell anyone else not to see the movie. I only said that I didn't want to see it myself. I laid out my reasons for doing so.
I don't care if you don't want to see the movie. Thats not my argument. My argument was that you shouldn't make claims about a movie you haven't seen. You said Bryan Johnson went too far, like you were in some position to judge him when you weren't.
Your argument was that apparently you think you are in the position to judge Bryan Johnson and his movie that you have not seen, based on some people's negative reactions.
I disagree with that, but I would have been willing to agree to disagree.
But then you had to go and throw a comment like "get over yourself" which undermined your argument because it was blatantly immature, and basically begged for a response from me because it was an attack on me, instead of on my argument.
And then you respond again with your I'm-oh-so-smart attitude "Since you are unable to see subtlety, I'll point it out for you" and follow it up with this, whatever it means:
: Gotta go and work, you might try it.
Huh? What should I "try"... work? subtlety? Was this supposed to be a childish insult? A typo? I don't get it....
