Jerry, I just thought of it as a robust debate.
Does Iced need to "chill"?
I find it bizarre that someone can't concede a basic, referenceable point of fact like weight or weight gain (which you agreed he was mistaken about), or hiding behind "what Demoff said".
I haven't called him stupid (I just think he is mistaken and being stubborn about it), and he hasn't called me stupid, so no cause for escalation that I can see?
If I mistakenly say Tavon Austin is 7'0" tall and 500 lbs., I'd expect to get checked on it. If than several people attempt to set me straight, and I could have easily referenced it myself, but keep insisting others are wrong because "Demoff said so", I'd expect to keep getting checked on it.
I just don't appreciate being misrepresented, and really don't like it when somebody says I misrepresented them, and I didn't, and they are misrepresenting me. But mild irritation would be a description of the level, intensity or magnitude of the feeling involved.
I have tried to meet things halfway in the process, attempted to clarify if I thought I contributed to a miscommunication (like if he didn't say anything bad about Jeffery, I acknowledged this and invited an attempt to clarify what he did think). I'm using quotes to avoid concern about "twisting words" since that was expressed.
But he has acknowledged or conceded exactly 0% from his side. The Jeffery weight thing could have been dealt with and put to rest many posts ago. Even in the face of being wrong after being presented with facts to the contrary of his position about weight (by you as well), he maintained the position based on Demoff saying so.
