Well reading this had the opposite effect than intended. Now i just hate the author
Because mocking someone based on opinion has always convinced them to change said opinion👍🏻
If someone is clearly just trying to be a trolling contrarian then there is no point in trying to change that person’s mind
So im trolling now because i have a different opinion? Explain that to me please. because based on the replies and upvote/downvote ratio on my comment, more people seem to agree than disagree with me.
By that same logic you use im gonna say you are trolling as you seem to defend an "article" that should be objective but is littered with personal opinion's and facts wich are non relevant to the "product" that the article is about
Because you obviously didn’t read the article. You claim the opinions are irrelevant which shows me that you took no time to actually read it. You are a troll because you are commenting obviously contrarian opinions that no reasonable could hold. It also appears more people agree with me than you by ratio as a higher percentage of the votes on the image I shared are positive than on the ridiculous noise that you spew with your comment. Go back to your Fox News and allow people who actually take time to read the article to discuss it
I did infact read the article and the irrelevant opinion i'm referring to are things likethe fact that the ceo donated against same sex marriage wich while i don't agree with that has nothing to do with the browser at hand.
Also saying it's not reasonable to hold such an opinion is just another opinion to debate over, just not in this threat.
The thing with the up/downvotes: i say i stand corrected. I didn't look at your ratio. I apologize.
Assuming i am watching fox news is:
Also It seems like you are trying to passively (or actively with that one) insult me on multiple occasions in this discussion.
I refuse to partake in a discussion where the other person tries to reinforce their point with insult's.
Please only reply if you can stay "formal" (or as formal as one is to strangers on the internet)
-Defends homophobes -Tries to ensure formality when that angers people.
Donations are relevant as that’s where the money may go that you give him by using the browser.
Living in the US or not, not sure how that’s relevant. It’s accessible in other countries so where you live isn’t relevant.
You act as though where your money goes is irrelevant to using a product and then scoff when others (rightfully) point out that that’s ridiculous.
this is your brain on civility nonsense
Yup, half of it is just "I don't like this person, so no one should use anything they have anything to do with".
The points about the browser itself are clearly just afterthoughts.
I mean, regardless of whether it sounds like afterthoughts, it kind of sounds like the ulterior motive for Brave is entirely counter to its purported intent. Why ignore it just because of something unrelated? Sounds like the exact same issue people complain about the author.
I'm not ignoring those things, there's a reason why I use firefox. I'm just criticizing the article.
You were agreeing with someone that said it led them to the opposite conclusion of the point the author wanted to make. That would require you to ignore those points or at the very least admit privacy isn't important.
When you said "yup" to a claim, it means you agree with the claim. You didn't simply only say you disliked the author's writing style and felt their focus wasn't properly targeted on the correct points.
Touché, I can see how this leads to misunderstanding.
