[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8583697, member: 22779"] And, frequently, when you question people on it, they double down and insist that "This thing sucks". And then get all shirty when you ask them to show how it sucks and you don't immediately fall in behind them to chant how "this thing sucks". Then, when it becomes glaringly obvious that "this thing sucks" doesn't actually carry any water, they fall back on "Well, I was just saying that I didn't like it. I'm allowed to not like something. It's just my opinion." And then the circle starts right back up again, but, this time with an extra chorus of "well, people just don't want to listen to me, they just want to shut down conversation". It's a very transparent rhetorical tactic that you see all the time. I just assume now that any time someone says "this thing sucks" they just mean, "I don't like this." and then pretty much ignore everything they say after it. [/QUOTE]
