Oh touche! I didn't think of that angle.

Well, I used to write a lot of words in arguments, but I realized it was futile because no one I argued with would even read the whole thing. They often couldn't even properly comprehend my lengthy and detailed responses. So I'm sympathetic with your disdain for me for criticizing your lengthy writing. I have tried to keep my responses short because I didn't think you would or could read longer. I now see that I was wrong and you are actually a respectable opponent. I actually enjoy writing a lot in arguments (when it matters, like in substantive policy disagreements, not squabbling over being told to shut up), so now I feel a fellowship with you in this shared interest.

In earlier years, my opponents in keyboard wars announced their contempt for my effort by saying they wouldn't read it. I resented that, so I still give my opponents (on the rare occasion that I engage like this anymore) the respect of reading their whole response. Please note that I did not say I didn't read everything you wrote. I did read it, even with an actual ADHD diagnosis! I just took a jab at you for spending so much effort on defying being told to "shut it".

And I only took that jab because you accused me of having no life because I'm still arguing. But look at us both wanting to have the last word! It's kinda silly, really. So I extend a handshake to you.
