HAHAHAHAHA, you’re not wrong at all! This made my flipping week. I was explaining essentially this concept to someone who tried picking a fight with me over nothing I could discern not too long ago. It was a case of “he said, she said”, so ergo I did not care.
I dismissed what that individual was saying,
as I had way better ways to waste my time on the internet that afternoon and that clearly they could not prove anything with hard evidence one way or the other. So, nothing of importance happened until proven otherwise with real evidence instead of vague accusations about nothing at all specific. This assessment, as you can imagine, caused the individual in question to become highly displeased. I told them to have a wonderful day and went about my weekend.
Admittedly I like my Schadenfreude so I looked later and saw that they lost it and said all kinds of off the wall things about me. Apparently I’m omnipotent these days. An unexpected ego stroke, but a funny one. Heh.
