You’re aggressively missing the point. It’s it a mental health issue, or are you being deliberately obtuse?
You’re the only one being aggressive in this thread ; I’m being deliberately insensitive to worthless arguments and emotions from worthless people. OK, now you are not the only one anymore, maybe.
You are the one responsible for carrying through your own point. Your failure to do that is not my problem.
