Yeah, any time I see a long post that starts with something like "obviously you think that..." my eyes glaze over and I just skip it.

Anytime you see "clearly," or "obviously," you should quickly realize that those adverbs are doing a lot of work to paper up a lack of clarity and/or obviousness.

And this is the point of the discussion where it feels like one should be able to go:

"And so your <argument> means that throwing a pop can at you is <no ones fault / no ones responsibility / no ones choice / not able to be proved to have actually happened / not ethically wrong>?"

And when they say yes, it feels like they just gave permission to throw it at them and that they shouldn't be able to legally hold you accountable for taking them up on it.
