Greetings 👋 I really do care! Expressing myself genuinely aswell as putting in the effort to understand where the other person is coming from: that builds bridges, connects and leads to worthwhile discussions. Bad faith discussions do not, I think.

I heard a quote once, paraphrasing, that tries to convey:

Good etiquette means is trying to understand the other as well as one can. That stuck with me eversince. I try to understand where the other party is coming from as well as I can. Genuinely.

My experience with that is that you build bridges. My experience without that is each side is expressing opinions, that fall flat on each other’s ears more often.

Don’t be mistaken though! It does not mean to be a pushover, nor people pleaser. It means to gracefully, exercise a conscious effort, to understand - and I noticed my arguments could be way stronger even, as they are more precise. And more accepted by others.

Now you are talking about a specific point, dismissing a debate. Because someone else argues in bad faith. Am I correct in the assumption that people told you they don’t want to discuss any further as they feel you’re coming out of a position of bad faith?

If I suspect or feel the other person is arguing in bad faith, so not being interested in finding a genuine communication channel, then it’s just that: voicing an opinion, discussing only to be able to repeat that opinion. monologue disguised as dialog. Not much value.

And it’s okay to express an opinion, it’s even sometimes okay to not wanting to discuss it - but others can sense that too and don’t want their time wasted.

So let’s discuss genuinely ☀️

I feel so invested now 😅 Hope they are all happy and you are able to enjoy your time with them more than they annoy you from time to time. I like them all ☀️

That I can totally see, it’s a shame that it happens at all. great they adopted the cat though, warms my heart ☀️

Just want to leave you with appreciation from a stranger in regards of your effort in making sure she’s OK and taken care of in the future. ❤️

Nice write up, thoroughly enjoyed it 😄 Looking forward to season 2 🌞

I feel like this is something between a woosh and an overreaction. 😅

So cute, looks like she brings some attitude though 😊 What’s her name? Hope she’s enjoying the sun 🌞

Good morning cat 😊

Wiatt does not disappoint 😊

Thoroughly enjoyed your comment 😊

God he’s cute. Love the belly and ducky 😊

Do you still have pics? 😊

Awesome! Here’s one more where he decided to go fishing 😄

On the surface, it sounds like you want to be “right” regarding a mostly subjective topic.

But if I read you correctly though it annoys you that he is dismissing the fact that mods can actually add to the experience in several, sometimes quite substantial, ways.

If so, It is not even about the game, huh? It is more about his disability to acknowledge another opinion. I assume it would not urk you as much if he just states that it’s not for him - without strange reasoning like not done by Bethesda, therefore bad.

However I don’t know your dynamics, maybe he is sick of discussing the case 😜 and if not, maybe you can learn a life lesson here - knowing which fights to take and realising at what point you’re dealing with a lost cause 😊
