But you... then explicitly go on to explain how it's different from US websites. Like you understand this, so I'm not sure why we're disagreeing here. It's fundamentally different, you even explain how it's different, we're not... disagreeing here.
It's disappointing you seem to only remember the time you were abusive and proved wrong in your accusations, but not the multiple extremely civil/pleasant interactions we've had since then.
This isn't a DB0 community - and even if it was, this wouldn't be a valid use of the disengage rule. see: "For a disengage call to be valid, it must not be accompanied by other arguments on the existing topic. A disengage is not meant to be a trump card to have the last word."
Don't regress these interactions and start being a dick for no reason. Seriously, this has been plenty civil until you started to get defensive about your unfamiliarity with the topic.
You are extremely disingenuous. We see it differently.
For a third time
You very clearly explained exactly whats wrong with that site's (and other sites) behavior, but pivoted to that somehow excusing what they did.
I dunno why you keep posting that, it clearly doesn't mean much to me beyond, uncharitably, showing that you're still holding a grudge? But I like to think I'm not so petty as to hang on to that.
