I am not implying; you are inferring. Don't.Jarvis323 said:You keep implying these things. If you don't mean them then clarify, because otherwise you are unintelligible.
Then say something which has a clear meaning and is not filled with apparent implications.DaveC426913 said:I am not implying; you are inferring. Don't.
Don't you think that your interpretation of it as nonsense has something to do with confirmation bias. It's an uphill battle challenging the status quo.phinds said:It's a lost cause, Dave. Give it up. He's just going to keep spouting the same nonsense over and over.
Sounds insincere to me.DaveC426913 said:Yes. It must suck that she's losing her hair.
For someone who was worried about how homeless people are referred to (people that experience homelessness vs homeless people) and got angry that people didn't immediately agree with you or that an organization couldn't be found that was committed to that cause, I'm surprised you don't show much concern for people being publically humiliated about their medical conditions. I honestly would have throught you'd be on my side on this and am left confused.DaveC426913 said:You are emotional about this, and you are argumentative; every post is an attempt to bait some reaction. Technically, that is called trolling.
It's all right to be emotional, and you do not need to defend your feelings...
..unless you bring them into a forum to have a discussion. Then you are expected to defend your case with logic.
You still have not answered how you feel about the crime of assault and battery. That's telling. Give some thought to that if you want to be taken seriously moving forward.
But I'm not taking this emotional bait anymore.

Interesting Comment! and it makes me think of related things.Jarvis323 said:She was probably public about it because the tabloids were talking about it, and she wanted to end the madness and obsessive speculation about why she is bald. That doesn't mean she wanted it to be fodder for jokes at academy awards, and then see a resurgence of that.
No; I did not really mean to quote your message. I am not patient enough to continue reading from page "5" to page "7" (currently) on this forum topic because it is becoming tiring; although I did post something on the topic a few minutes ago referring to Male-Pattern Baldness and a Fashion Grooming choice.Jarvis323 said:If you can point that out it will be helpful.
I personally think most people are oversimplifying it, by viewing the situation without context, using their own experience instead. After a joke about your baldness at the Oscars, there will be a lot of media buzz. And as a result there will be a lot of people chasing you around with cameras wherever you go, trying to catch glimpses of your hair loss, and trying to ask you questions about your balding. That being something you had already been through for several years, which has likely left you already traumatized. Maybe some people are strong enough that for them those issues are no big deal. Or maybe wealth makes it less a problem, they can just hide on an island somewhere if they want to get away. But many people are sensitive to this, and it does affect their mental health significantly. "It's just a roast" and they "signed up for it and got paid" is the hyperbole in my view.
I'm not saying responding with physical violence is excusable. Just that it is worthwhile to take a deeper look and have some empathy.
