I'm not sure if I should apologize, offer an explanation or let it go. As for the apology, I don't think I was out of line or anything, it's just not my standard response to shut down topics in that way. I don't like it that I did that. I was too tired to really have it in me to carry on in that direction. I don't think anything either of us would have said would have mattered beyond there. Still, I don't like it that I effectively ended that particular conversation. That wasn't right of me. I could have handled that better than I did, that's for sure. I imagine that's part of why I'd like to offer an explanation.
It truly does confuse me how he can do that sort of thing. I mean, he knows better. He's seen those exact same scare tactic bs types of arguments presented against things he supports. He knows how aggravating that crap is...he knows how a crazy, loud, hype filled bunch of crap about one lone outlier can be used by idiots to push some agenda they have.
But then I have to stop and ask myself something... I recall how it goes, when you see something all around you, it's likely because you yourself are doing that exact same thing. So what the hell am I holding a double standard on here. Perhaps I should ask him that. Perhaps I'm doing the very thing I'm annoyed with him over. I have no idea. Hm.
That was just weird. But what was weird...his thoughts? Nah. My reaction? Yeah.
