Yes we established you improved. You had duplicated the expression of your true self already. No need to quadruple it.
How so?
I recognize the sarcasm because I know it’s you who wrote it, not because the text itself clearly indicates sarcasm. If I didn’t know you, I wouldn’t be able to infer that from the quoted text alone. Maybe I am on this ‘spectrum’ you mentioned…
Somewhat inappropriate for someone who takes enforcing the Code of Conduct so seriously.
It’s only natural to pick up on someone’s social traits after interacting with them multiple times on this site.
Honestly, I don’t mind whether or not you pick up on the sarcasm.

My boat floats all.
My initial statement wasn’t obsolete.
What’s the frequency, Kenneth?
Morbid egotism aside, if you were an actual psychotherapist you would have lost your license, because it’s blatant malpractice and unscientific to think you can hand out diagnoses to people over internet text.

I mistook ‘obsolete’ for something related to ‘absolute,’ so the confusion is on me.
Malpractice typically involves a doctor and a patient.
Since there’s no one paying here, it’s more accurate to describe this as everyday rudeness at most.
Good thing I’m not!
It’s sorta funny that you attempt to call someone out in this way while doing the same in the very post.
That’s said, I don’t think this means what you think it means. If anything, I think you hold yourself in too high esteem as it is you who seems to struggle with basic sarcasm.
It’s as obvious as the nose on one’s face, though. I’m sorry truth bothers you, but it doesn’t change the facts.
I’m not following where you’re at or where you’re going, so in this case it’s my comprehension that has failed.
I’d be happy to give a better reply to your assertion if you were to clarify which statement you’re referencing.
They pretend to know who is in “the spectrum”.
It’s a bit funny they think that’s even a phrase,
in the spectrum of what “Doctor” Neon?
I’m trying to understand why you responded to my first statement.
I acknowledge that text alone can hint at sarcasm, but I didn’t imply otherwise. I simply pointed out that the personality behind a comment often makes it clearer whether someone is being sarcastic. Could you clarify what you meant with your reply to my original statement?

Let them do as they please.
If you’re upset by it, it suggests they’re winning the conversation. If you become defensive, it indicates insecurity about the issue.
Don’t take this as me agreeing with the notion of you ‘being on the spectrum,’ but a lot can be inferred from someone’s reaction when they’re accused of something.
You should have addressed the inappropriateness of the comment rather than questioning the validity of the statement about yourself. That’s how you win here.

Interesting you’d say that because I found your behavior towards that person lacking. Since as you said you know that they roam around the forum insulting people: being very polite to them is not the established way to deal with them: you either ignore them or tell it to them as it is.
By the way I omitted to mention before: you said “but they’re not a doctor”: I said “if you were a doctor” so I covered that.
My behavior wasn’t intended to accommodate you, but me.
I did tell them how it is, which is why they came back trying to downplay the comment by suggesting it’s not a bad thing to ‘be on the spectrum.’
That would only turn you into the patient.
Glorifying them while trying to call them out isn’t going to work.

No glorification. I pointed out how unscientific and absurd it was. A person with the credentials to know who is “in the spectrum” would be doing malpractice if they were behaving that way; it’s not just a legal statement; their discipline knows it’s unscientific to behave that way.
How so?
In your imagination, you’ve cast Neon as the doctor and yourself as the patient. Who holds more power here?
You’re diminishing yourself and only challenging his perspective as if he were an actual authority figure.

You’re misreading the situation. I said if they were a doctor they would lose their license.
That’s way worse than being a humble worker not losing their job.
Well, how do I put this…
When you say to someone, ‘If you were X,’ you’re implying that you can actually envision them being smart, capable, or whatever adjective you choose to use, to hold that position.
In doing so, you’ve conceded the argument willingly.
You are praising them by that point.
How can I envision they are smart, if I said they would be doing malpractice which is a direct result of a discipline finding something unscientific and therefore by definition not “smart”?
You seem to pay too much respect to the word “doctor” by default; there are bad doctors; someone handing over diagnoses over internet text would be one of them.

Malpractice isn’t related to one’s intelligence.
A bad doctor isn’t concerned about being labeled a bad doctor; they’re more worried about being called unintelligent.
Well, this thread reminds me of why I have half these users blocked.
