But seriously, there are exceptions to the bad childhood makes bad parents rule. My mom had a ****ty childhood and she's a good mother

I think what Lucem's getting at is that you're deflecting criticism by trying to invalidate the usage of the criticisms themselves. It's pretty transparent and sleazy.

Laugh, and the whole board laughs with you...

Using people's own words to invalidate their ideas

vs.

Thinking that word choice doesn't reflect the speaker's beliefs

Invalidation? It's just an observation of your behaviour mate. Personally I'll still listen to a pretentious person's ideas- my interacting with you is evidence of that.

You ok mate? I was referring to your response here as an example of the latter

I do believe that diction can be indicative of a person's own beliefs. It's just when that argument conveniently applies to criticisms levied against you is when I think you're being more weaselly than anything else. It starts looking a hell of a lot more like the former than the latter.

(And yeah I did misread that previous message, sorry)

TBF Merit thinks that Hitler was a Zionist puppet and the Holocaust was exaggerated.

People with abusive parents can be great parents. My dad was physically abused for all of his childhood and he only beat me until he stopped using meth when I was about 8 years old. Talk about gains.

Oh man.

**** man I hope you're trolling. If that's true I'm sorry to hear it
