Why are you lying about what I said?

Is this an example of positivity and productivity, the things you claimed I lacked?

It’s stone. Stone is full of cracks. It will get into those cracks and not wash off.

Interesting that you aren’t linking to where I said that. Perhaps it was because I said it in the other thread yesterday and not today after I read this article and found out I was wrong?

Is it that you’re being highly dishonest or is that just my negativity and lack of productivity that made me lack psychic powers?

You’re just arguing from a petty and pedantic place while half the globe is frying.

Maybe just shut up. You wont’ regret it, you won’t get stuck ruminating on all these internet strangers who don’t like you, you can get on with your day and let people who care more about our world than old rocks get on with our day as well.

So you said it yesterday without any proof or knowledge? Why would you make such a statement when you come from a place of ignorance? Would you have come here and declared you’ve reversed your position and apologized to the people you zealously argued against from said place of ignorance or did you only do so when called out?

You may have assumed I was talking about this thread, and not making a reference to what you went on about for an hour arguing with everyone abiut yesterday (edit: or 2 days ago I guess). But I didn’t say that, and you were wrong.

“Said” is past tense. Yesterday, when you were pretending to be an authority on historic rocks, you said it wouldn’t wash off. I didn’t see that thread and immediately understood what they meant.

They weren’t being even slightly dishonest, but it’s clear you are. Would you have admitted you were wrong if you weren’t called out by name? My gut feeling is “not a chance”.

I think you’re getting attacked because this post is an accusation, first and foremost. It definitely doesn’t feel like it is positive or productive.

Well that certainly gives people an excuse to tell ridiculous lies and take things I said out of context, doesn’t it?

I mean people are saying shit like I claimed to be an authority. When? Where? I didn’t do that.

And I did say I was wrong, but apparently that makes things even worse somehow.

I get it. I think defending yourself against that is probably a lost cause, though, even if that feels bad not to.

As for being an authority, personally, I see that. I think you made a statement and people, reasonably or not, assumed you know something more than they do. You post a lot, so why wouldn’t you know a lot?
