In other unrelated news, my submission for $2 million worth of funding for my scientific experiment where I reduce 100 tons of surplus modern art into component particles in order to identify particles that correspond to "Beauty," has been rejected once again by the philistines of the board.
Next time remind them that the resulting pile of components will also be modern art. ;)

I enjoy a good rules debate. Reminds me of 3e and the early days of ENWorld.

Admittedly, the word "good" is doing a bit of lifting. But not too much for most civilized netizens.
Yep. That’s why when you find one you boot them from the game.
Agreed, better here than at the table, I always get annoyed when someone wants to break the flow to have a rules discussion.

In that case I clearly was, and continue to be, confused about what you are trying to address.

I was just noting that assuming the other person is wrong is part of the process of deciding to disagree with them, unless you're taking issue with phrasing or a side issue. Thinking someone is wrong is not a flaw; being unpleasant about it may be, unless the topic is very important (and almost nothing we talk about here is).

Snarf said:
"If you announce that anyone who disagrees with your position is lying or disingenuous, you should not be surprised if people aren't very interested in having a discussion with you."

You said:
"I know you're mostly just making a joke, but if, to one degree or another, you don't think the latter is true (the first sentence), what are you even arguing about?"

It is not clear if "the latter" is,
  1. "disingenuous"
  2. "people aren't very interested in having a discussion with you"
  3. something else

You clipped out their second paragraph. My post was in a response to that (I realize there might be some ambiguity since I didn't clip out there first, but note the "I know you're mostly just making a joke" which I'd think was clear what part it referred to since Snarf was wry in their second paragraph.
