My favorite part of the argument is when your opponent has no more points to refute you with, so they call you hostile and then just keep posting to have the last word.

It’s the best.

I think I know what you’re talking to, and part of me wants so bad to write this to the nitwit:

“If you think the way she’s been talking to you is ‘rude,’ you’ve clearly been incredibly privileged to have everyone cater to your whims so carefully throughout your life. I’m jealous!

Or, you were invoking the ‘irrational woman’ stereotype to discredit her and raise your side of the argument up as the ‘rational’ and ‘logical’ side since you don’t actually have any better argument, which is far more rude than someone engaging you in a conversation where they disagree with you.

So what is it? You privileged or rude?”

I actually had a really fucking nasty thing written up that I ctrl+x’ed and typed my final response instead, lol. That’s how I do arguments. I type the angry thing, then delete it and do the less-angry thing.

That’s smart! Another part of me really wanted to just be like, ‘you wanna see rude??’ But you’re reply was great and poignant and avoids needless drama!
