    Projecting? Projecting what?

    “Getting pissy at people…”

    I wasn’t “getting pissy”, I was making fun of them. YOU are the one getting pissy, dear boy.

    It sure seems that reading for comprehension isn’t anyone elses strong suit here.

    For some of us, disambiguation wasn’t a new word, and in particular,

    Oh honey. It was obviously so new for him that he had to use it in two consecutive posts. He was trying for something. The kids always try to impress the adults in the room.

    You’ll realize this eventually. Maybe.

      I’m old enough to know that I don’t respect someone who tries to make out that anyone who disagrees with them is stupid or a child, particularly when they themselves feel the need to comment on someone using big words too often.

      I wondered whether you had to look it up and it annoyed you, so you went on the attack and defaulted to sneering. But I think it’s more likely that you immediately realised that your attempt to belittle them for questioning whether you were serious had backfired spectacularly and they were amused that your response answered the question vividly instead of having the desired effect, and that’s what made you try to make them look small.

      You and I have different senses of humour. I find things funny when there’s a surprise other meaning or something like that, but you find things funny when you’re calling other people dumb. It’s just that this time the irony is that you accidentally assumed someone had to pay money to have come across the word disambiguation before today. Again “ooo, swallowed a dictionary, have you?” isn’t the ‘massive own’ playground bullies think it is.

      In case it wasn’t clear, I think your sneering responses to disagreement throughout this thread make you sound deeply insecure. Those of us who disagree with you aren’t all naïve and teenaged as you like to pretend. Come up with better arguments than that. Marx and Engels were very, very intelligent men and you are doing them a disservice by acting like trump in defence of their ideals.

        That’s a whole lotta words for nothing.

        Projecting AND covering up for insecurities.

        Nice.

        Good boy.

          Again, if you want to come across as wise, you have to come up with more than insults.

          And if you want to rebut my points effectively, you have to come up with something more substantive than that they were a bit lengthy for your taste.
