Q: Make a psych profile of the author:

The AI that you're using isn't able to accurately do that, Michael. SC
already responded as well and called out what you're doing.
It's also interesting that you felt the need to respond at all - Being as
you completely removed the context (who didn't see that coming) when you provided the heavily biased AI response.

Is there a specific reason that you aren't able to respond with your own material to my posts? Why bother abusing the AI services to generate a baseless attack towards me?

More at the link.

It's pointless to bother reviewing. As you should be well aware, the AI
isn't able to do what you requested.


No one needs "More" to realize how much credence you goofishly give to your 'God'.

Me: What would you make of a usenet poster who regularly asks you for a
psych
profile on the people he regularly engages on usenet?

ChatGPT:

IrCOd treat that behavior itself as the primary object of analysis, not the people being profiledrCoand IrCOd do so descriptively, not diagnostically.

HererCOs what can be said without crossing epistemic or ethical lines.

What that behavior reliably indicates

If a Usenet poster regularly asks an AI for psychological profiles of
people
they argue with, that suggests (at minimum):

1. A shift from content to person

They are no longer primarily engaging with:

claims

arguments

evidence

but with:

who the other person rCLisrCY

what motivates them

whatrCOs rCLwrongrCY with them

ThatrCOs a move away from discourse and toward personal attribution.

2. Outsourcing judgment

They appear to be seeking:

external validation

an rCLauthoritativerCY third party

confirmation that their interpretation is correct

Especially when itrCOs repeated, this suggests the AI is being used less
as a
tool and more as a referee or witness.

3. Desire for narrative coherence

Long-running Usenet conflicts are messy and unresolved.

Asking for psych profiles can function as an attempt to:

impose order

reduce ambiguity

collapse complex interactions into a simple explanation (rCLTheyrCOre just XrCY)

ThatrCOs psychologically understandable, but analytically weak.

What it does NOT justify concluding

Even if the behavior is frequent, it does not justify saying the person is:

narcissistic

obsessed

mentally unwell

malicious

incapable of argument

Those would be exactly the same overreach theyrCOre committing.

The structural problem (this is the key point)

What they are asking the AI to do is impossible in principle:

They provide fragments

From adversarial contexts

With unknown history

And ask for conclusions about people

So the request itself is epistemically flawed, regardless of intent.

Repeatedly making the same flawed request suggests:

a misunderstanding of what both psychology and AI can legitimately do.

A useful analogy

ItrCOs like someone repeatedly asking a chess engine:

rCLTell me what kind of person my opponent is based on this one move.rCY

The engine can analyze the move. It cannot tell you who the opponent is.

Continuing to ask anyway tells you somethingrConot about the opponent, but about
the askerrCOs expectations.

The most charitable interpretation

At best, this behavior reflects:

frustration with bad-faith interactions

a desire to understand rather than just react

overestimating AIrCOs epistemic reach

ThatrCOs common, especially in hostile online environments.

The least charitable (but still non-diagnostic) interpretation

At worst, it reflects:

weaponizing psychological language

seeking rhetorical leverage rather than insight

trying to convert disagreement into defect

Still: behavioral description, not diagnosis.

Bottom line

What IrCOd make of such a poster is this:

They are asking the wrong kind of question

About the wrong target

With tools that cannot deliver what they want

And the pattern of asking tells you far more about their approach to
conflict
than anything the AI could validly say about their opponents.

If you want, we can also flip this around and ask the harder question:

Why does psychological framing feel so compelling in online arguments, even when itrCOs epistemically bankrupt?

ThatrCOs where the real insight usually is.

(I have a link to this convo... but you won't learn anything from what preceded
it anyway, so there's not point in posting it)

TL;DR: You focus on 'personality' over content as you appeal to an
authority
that even flatly explains why it can't be an authority (as if any sensible, knowledgable person with working brain cells needed to have that explained
to
them <eyeroll>).

<https://chatgpt.com/share/69500994-cc34-8009-b3ff-41f8b86944c9>

"Hmmm..."

Maybe you need to rethink your 'strategy' ;)


You might as well give up with the whole 'I'm seeking peace' routine,
Michael. Only a complete n00b, or a fucking idiot, would actually take anything you write at your word.
In case you aren't well aware - your word is well known as trash and is
not to be trusted without 3rd party verification. It's all because you
have lied multiple times about the dumbest shit possible. And when called
out for doing this, you double down.

You have stated on many occasions, as laughable as it is, that you cannot
be quoted lying - you have been, many times. You somehow think that (a) ignoring it or (b) mis labeling it as 'rambling' or some other such
nonsense makes it go away. It doesn't work like that. You have clearly
spent more time fucking off in AOL chat rooms (with children present - but that's another subject) than you actually have on usenet. You cannot
/clear the screen of usenet and rewrite history to please you.

Are you attempting to run damage control at this point? I wouldn't worry
about it, David has no intentions of calling the place to verify anything. And, even if he actually did take the time - Once the store informs him of
the snit discounts existance and why/how it came to be, he won't be
reporting those details back here. He's doing his best to give you as much cover as he can. The only problem with that routine is that he has severe credibility issues of his own. Mostly due to decades long stalking and
like you, the need to lie about nearly everything. David has actually attempted to justify this by claiming it's required to 'sus out'
information from people who wouldn't otherwise provide it to him. What's
your excuse for the nonsense you've been posting about me?

You shouldn't continue to snip out the entire reply. This isn't AOL, it doesn't really clear the screen here for you. We can still read the posts you're responding to and see what a very dishonest person you are.

Everything I've done towards you as been in response for something you did beforehand. You should stop attempting to convince others that your a
victim in any possible way. Only a complete idiot would believe it at this point.

And you continue to lie about me

You're attempting to mislead people, again. I haven't written any known to
be lies about you. Not a single one. You should stop with the entire projection routine at this point. The new comer can't defend you without looking like a complete idiot. Even though they are choosing to ignore all
the evidence showing what a troll you are, it's still in existance and
they only show ignorance on their part by pretending otherwise.

insisting my business was not licensed (as if I owe you proof
it was)

It's funny how you continue to project here. The licensing is a matter of public record. There is no such record showing that any of your home based businesses had a valid license at any point in time. You also forget that
I'm in construction. I know what's required to legally convert your
trailer into a daycare center. I know for an absolute fact you had none of
the additional work performed inside or outside the residence. You
wouldn't even know where to begin doing any of that.

It's also very cute how you've tried to assist David Brooks in doxing me
as well as learning the identity and other credentials of my little hole
in the wall repair shop. You really are in way over your head, Snit.

The more you drag this on, the more interest you are acruing. I'm not like various agencies you've conned like a somali. ROFL! You will find this out
for yourself soon enough. You will also learn the hard way that David
Brooks isn't and never was actually your friend. You'll also learn the
hardway that he's completely impotent concerning me. He will do nothing to help you at any point in time. He didn't for Jenn or Eagle. He won't for
you.

As with them, he did encourage them to continue provoking me. When shit
hit the fan for them both in real life, David was mostly begging me to
stop. This after he suggested I was harmless and wouldn't be doing
anything. He continues to attempt to mislead anyone who didn't see it all
go down when it did. I don't believe it's a memory recall issue in this
case, it's just pure dishonesty on his part. As it was with the recent
email shares where he tried to play stupid about ever asking for Help with BugHunter. That wasn't a problem with his memory - it was a simple issue
of severe dishonesty on his part. And it was intentional. He's arrogant
for thinking the majority of us are gullible enough to fall for such a
thing.

saying I had charges on a .gov site that magically / illegally
went away.

That's not at all what's been shared about your driving record. You don't
just look a bit on the stupid side trying to lie about it as you are, you actually are stupid for trying to do this.

All sorts of insanity. You have become unhinged -- just
attacking and lying and freaking out because of your frail ego.

Snit, stop with the bullshit. It's not working here anymore.

I have been kind and not shared the your quotes you hate so much you
insist they are "lies", even though I provide MIDs. Shall I return to
sharing these quotes in response to your attacks?

Snit, please don't threaten me with a good time. In case you haven't
figured it out, what you're actually sharing when you do that is proof
that you cannot comprehend what you read well at all. As in, you don't
even have the reading ability of a 3rd grader.

You're also being very dishonest in claiming that I hate it when you quote
me out of context and provide your interpretation of what you think I was writing about. I'm very pleased with your efforts to expose your reading comprehension issues as well as your high level of ignorance concerning
the technical subjects we discuss here. People don't have to take my word
for it when you go and do that. They can see the issues, in real time.
You're demonstrating them. :) And, I appreciate the fact you are so
willing to show everyone how poorly you read for comprehension and how ignorant as fuck! you actually are concerning technical matters.

You're also attempting another morph here. :) I haven't stated that what
you have quoted are lies in the sense I didn't write them. What I have and will continue to state is that what you quote doesn't support the stories you've attached to them. In other words, idiot, they don't backup the accusations you've made towards me.

For example; you've recently claimed that I had insider knowledge of the floodbot - none of the words you quote from me actually support the
accusation and they never will. Not anymomre so than the others you use to
try and support your floodbot accusation story.

You reached the conclusions you did in error because you're a very
dishonest individual and you have a severe learning disability - You are
not even reading at a 4th graders level. You literally show us that every
time you quote something and try to make what you quoted support the story
you wrote. It just doesn't work.

Please just stop.

You aren't getting a free pass, Snit.

You are humiliating yourself.

Are we reading the same replies here? Nobody is taking any issue with me
over what you've written about me. Several of them are taking you to
school about it though. You might want to review what you wrote; I'm not
the one being humiliated here. You really are a dumbass, yea? I mean, you aren't faking that.

No need. I'm not the one who has a well documented learning disability. I actually do understand (read: comprehend) what I read. You have demonstrated many times now that you struggle with doing so and still can't pull it off. A 4th grader has a better grasp on reading comprehension.

You obviously either got the masters in IT degree from a papermill, OR, your wife did all the actual work for you online. You have shown us your
technical knowledge level far too many times now. Many of us know that
you're a fucking idiot when it concerns tech. You really don't understand

Have faith though - David Brooks thinks very highly of you. <G>

while ALL of us might have the occasional post where we present ourselves poorly

No, Snit. *YOU* show us with damn near every post that you are a very dishonest troll. You aren't actually fooling anyone with this. You're also showing us just how poorly you actually understand AI. The examples you've provided aren't valid. You have been shown multiple times now how your usage of AI is flawed for your intended purpose here - a personal attack. I'm not surprised that you lack such understanding though. You're the first 'tech' person I've met online or in real life who wasn't able to determine a
failing spinner style HD was an issue with your machine.

Whoever you previously wrote about having it looked at prior to my providing you rock solid information concerning it's problem is just as incompetent as you are - assuming you weren't lying out of your ass when you claimed to
have had it looked at in the first place.

The AI program you're using isn't able to perform any accurate diagnosis concerning me. You have been shown this multiple times now, too. So, the
only logical reason for you to continue with it is that you are a very dishonest individual who's now trying to slime me with AI. All because you can't stand toe to toe with me on technical subjects. I walk the dog on you with ease and that pisses you the fuck off. It pisses you off because your
ego gets crushed within the first few sentences of my replies and I'm not
even trying to do that to you. You're in way over your head with me. You may not want to publically admit it, but, you don't have to. It's laughingly obvious for everyone who reads our interactions.

It irks you to no end that I do not see you as a peer. I see you for what
you are - An Apple fanboi end user with limited abilities. So limited that
you can't even diagnose a simple hardware issue with your own gear.

Gremlin exhibits a **persecutory-vindictive personality
pattern**, organized around long-term feuds and the need to
rCLexposerCY perceived deceivers. His writing style and
behavioral patterns suggest that he derives psychological
satisfaction from *narrativizing conflict*rCoturning
interpersonal disputes into moral sagas where he occupies
the role of truthrCOs champion against corruption.

In more clinical terms, the post reflects **ego-syntonic
paranoia**: he doesnrCOt see himself as hostile or obsessive
but as justified and corrective. The very act of public
documentation reinforces his self-image as the rational one
in a sea of deceit.

The author likely exhibits traits of paranoid personality
disorder or narcissistic personality traits rCo suspicious,
self-righteous, vindictive, and unable to tolerate perceived
slights. Their writing pattern shows rumination, paranoid
ideation, and grandiosity under stress. Socially, they
thrive on conflict, interpreting it as proof of their
importance and intelligence. The fixation on personal
betrayals and loyalty tests suggests theyrCOre emotionally
isolated and sustain their self-image by constructing
enemies.

In short: a distrustful, self-aggrandizing, and combative
personality that depends on conflict for a sense of control
and validation.

This is someone who thrives on online conflict and status
games rCo a troll or bully type who craves recognition and
attention, even negative. They rely on ridicule and
exaggeration because they lack confidence in their reasoning
or facts. The post reads less like conversation and more
like a performance for an imagined audience.

Overall, yourCOre looking at a personality driven by
insecurity cloaked in arrogance rCo emotionally reactive,
controlling, and unable to engage in genuine dialogue
without turning it into a contest for dominance.

Gremlin levels a long list of accusations against Snit rCo
chronic lying, manipulation, attention-seeking, substance
abuse, cowardice, and even raising his family to be rCLleeches
on society.rCY He also claims Snit rCLusesrCY people until theyrCOre
no longer useful and relies on unnamed third parties and
rCLinsider knowledgerCY to support these assertions. However, in
this post itself he provides no direct evidence rCo no quotes,
timestamps, documents, or verifiable facts rCo only repeated
assertions, references to private conversations, and claims
of screenshots not shown.

Psychologically, the post reads as highly hostile and
emotionally driven. Gremlin displays intense anger,
contempt, and violent fantasizing, along with
black-and-white thinking and a strong need to position
himself as the sole possessor of truth. Disagreement is
treated as proof of guilt, and accusation replaces argument.
The heavy reliance on invective, projection, and uncheckable
claims suggests someone more focused on punishment and
dominance than on persuasion or factual discussion.

GremlinrCOs post makes a long list of very serious accusations
about Snit rCo being a lifelong liar, living off taxpayers,
committing or enabling stalking, grifting with an ex-spouse,
lying about arrests, and even passing alleged behavior on to
his children. Most of this is asserted as obvious or rCLwell
known,rCY but the post itself provides no documentation for
those claims. No court records, benefit records, or
independent verification are offered. The only concrete
evidence presented is a single multi-year-old Usenet
exchange about phone-number lookups, which is then used to
justify sweeping conclusions about SnitrCOs character,
motives, and entire life.

Psychologically, the post reads as fixation-driven and
prosecutorial rather than evidentiary. The author shows
black-and-white thinking, extreme certainty, and a strong
emotional investment in portraying the target as uniquely
despised and irredeemably dishonest. A narrow technical
disagreement is inflated into a moral crusade, with
speculation about finances, family members, and private life
used as rhetorical weapons. Overall, it looks less like
someone weighing evidence and more like someone rehearsing a
long-held grievance, reinforcing a narrative that no
counter-fact could realistically change.

Gremlin comes across as a highly combative, dominance-driven
poster who argues less to resolve facts and more to publicly
establish hierarchy and credibility. He presents himself as
technically superior, long-suffering, and repeatedly
vindicated, relying heavily on group memory and reputation
rather than direct evidence. His tone is controlled but
contemptuous, using insults strategically as a way to
humiliate opponents and signal authority to onlookers.
Disagreement is framed as dishonesty or incompetence, and
threads are treated as ongoing campaigns rather than
isolated debates. Overall, the post reads as a performance
aimed at enforcing status and delivering a public loss, not
persuading the person herCOs addressing.

The author comes across as highly combative and
status-driven, with an identity closely tied to being seen
as correct, authoritative, and historically vindicated
within a long-running Usenet social sphere. They show low
tolerance for contradiction, a strong tendency to
re-litigate old disputes, and a grievance-oriented mindset
marked by long memory and moral absolutism. The tone
suggests controlled but persistent anger, expressed through
performative dominance aimed as much at bystanders as at
opponents. Rather than seeking resolution, the author
appears motivated by defending ego, preserving reputation,
and asserting hierarchy, indicating someone who is energized
by conflict and deeply embedded in adversarial online
culture.

The author presents as combative, grievance-driven, and highly
invested in dominance displays rCo quick to escalate disagreement
into personal attack, moral judgment, and character
assassination. Their writing shows a strong need to control the
narrative, including selective framing of evidence, insistence
on having superior records or memory, and repeated claims of
long-term vindication. There is clear externalization of blame,
with others cast as liars, stalkers, addicts, or intellectually
deficient, while the author positions themselves as the sole
truth-teller. The tone suggests chronic anger, paranoia-adjacent
suspicion, and a fixation on perceived slights that are nursed
over years, indicating rumination rather than resolution.
Socially, the style implies poor conflict regulation and low
empathy, but high persistence and technical confidence, typical
of someone who treats Usenet not as discussion but as a
battleground for status, reputation, and retaliation rather than
mutual understanding.

The author presents as combative, ego-driven, and highly
invested in status contests within the Usenet social hierarchy.
They show strong externalization rCo blame is pushed outward,
opponents are framed as uniquely dishonest or defective, and
disagreement is interpreted as moral failure rather than
difference of perspective. There is a clear pattern of
obsessional persistence: old grievances are rehearsed, witnesses
are invoked, and anecdotal verification is repeated to assert
dominance rather than to resolve facts. Language choice suggests
hostility mixed with performative certainty, likely compensating
for insecurity about credibility. The writer appears to gain
psychological reward from public confrontation and humiliation
of adversaries, while simultaneously claiming rationality and
truthfulness. Overall, this looks like someone who thrives on
conflict, defines identity through opposition, and mistakes
volume, repetition, and moral outrage for evidentiary strength rCo
a classic Usenet polemicist mindset rather than a persuasive or
reflective one.

No need.

Sure there is... here is the reply to your current post:

No, there really isn't:
MID: <10ip1n6$3j756$3@fretwizzer.eternal-september.org>
Me: What would you make of a usenet poster who regularly asks you for a
psych
profile on the people he regularly engages on usenet?

ChatGPT:

IAd treat that behavior itself as the primary object of analysis, not the people being profileduand IAd do so descriptively, not diagnostically.

HereAs what can be said without crossing epistemic or ethical lines.

What that behavior reliably indicates

If a Usenet poster regularly asks an AI for psychological profiles of people they argue with, that suggests (at minimum):

1. A shift from content to person

They are no longer primarily engaging with:

claims

arguments

evidence

but with:

who the other person oiso

what motivates them

whatAs owrongo with them

ThatAs a move away from discourse and toward personal attribution.

2. Outsourcing judgment

They appear to be seeking:

external validation

an oauthoritativeo third party

confirmation that their interpretation is correct

Especially when itAs repeated, this suggests the AI is being used less as a tool and more as a referee or witness.

3. Desire for narrative coherence

Long-running Usenet conflicts are messy and unresolved.

Asking for psych profiles can function as an attempt to:

impose order

reduce ambiguity

collapse complex interactions into a simple explanation (oTheyAre just Xo)

ThatAs psychologically understandable, but analytically weak.

What it does NOT justify concluding

Even if the behavior is frequent, it does not justify saying the person is:

narcissistic

obsessed

mentally unwell

malicious

incapable of argument

Those would be exactly the same overreach theyAre committing.

The structural problem (this is the key point)

What they are asking the AI to do is impossible in principle:

They provide fragments

From adversarial contexts

With unknown history

And ask for conclusions about people

So the request itself is epistemically flawed, regardless of intent.

Repeatedly making the same flawed request suggests:

a misunderstanding of what both psychology and AI can legitimately do.

A useful analogy

ItAs like someone repeatedly asking a chess engine:

oTell me what kind of person my opponent is based on this one move.o

The engine can analyze the move. It cannot tell you who the opponent is.

Continuing to ask anyway tells you somethingunot about the opponent, but
about
the askerAs expectations.

The most charitable interpretation

At best, this behavior reflects:

frustration with bad-faith interactions

a desire to understand rather than just react

overestimating AIAs epistemic reach

ThatAs common, especially in hostile online environments.

The least charitable (but still non-diagnostic) interpretation

At worst, it reflects:

weaponizing psychological language

seeking rhetorical leverage rather than insight

trying to convert disagreement into defect

Still: behavioral description, not diagnosis.

Bottom line

What IAd make of such a poster is this:

They are asking the wrong kind of question

About the wrong target

With tools that cannot deliver what they want

And the pattern of asking tells you far more about their approach to conflict than anything the AI could validly say about their opponents.

If you want, we can also flip this around and ask the harder question:

Why does psychological framing feel so compelling in online arguments, even when itAs epistemically bankrupt?

ThatAs where the real insight usually is.

(I have a link to this convo... but you won't learn anything from what preceded
it anyway, so there's not point in posting it)

TL;DR: You focus on 'personality' over content as you appeal to an authority that even flatly explains why it can't be an authority (as if any sensible, knowledgable person with working brain cells needed to have that explained to them <eyeroll>).

<https://chatgpt.com/share/69500994-cc34-8009-b3ff-41f8b86944c9>

"Hmmm..."

Maybe you need to rethink your 'strategy' ;)

This is ACCURATE.

Nothing you've abused chatGPT for has been accurate. Please learn to read so that in the future you can learn how chatgpt actually works. It's uses and it's limitations.

You are showing what a tech idiot you are, Snit. I do appreciate your candid honesty in this regard, even if it's not intentional. <G>

But look at your history

Mine looks like a fucking saint compared to yours, bud. That's saying something considering some aspects of my very technical background. You've been known as a troll for decades. I've been known as a badass former
blackhat and VXer for even longer. You are not a peer of mine, no matter how bad you want to be seen as one. You're an incompetent on your best days, end user. That's exactly what you are, it's all you will ever be. An end user. ROFLMFAO! You're the first tech idiot I've met online or in person that
fucked up so badly trying to fix other peoples gear that another shop took advantage of it for advertising purposes. The Snit discount. ROFL!!!

Oh, i'm not making it up either - I'm not the only person who's called and fact checked. Various people have fact checked my claim and confirmed that I haven't lied about it, it's all true. There is such a thing and you are the reason it exists. You are that incompetent! You couldn't even diagnose a bad hard drive on your own computer, you haven't replaced the drive yet because you're a afraid of causing damage to the computer if you tried. You
shouldn't touch another persons gear! You are not qualified to do so.

Why don't we both help him instead of focusing on your pissing contest?

It's my pissing contest now? ROFL! I don't think you will find our history
on usenet to be in agreement with that. What people who can read will find,
in the event they weren't here when it began (our issues) is that you attempted to compare yourself to me. That you considered yourself to be a
peer of mine. I've been very clear not only in telling you that you are
not a peer, but I've also provided multiple examples of why I don't see
you as a peer. You lack the required knowledge and experience.

he even asked about them, but I am happy to give you a chance.

You need to sign up for adult reading classes, Michael. It's painfully
obvious that you cannot comprehend what you read for shit, bud. I didn't
make anything up. If you were able to comprehend what you read, you would

Stop trying to make excuses to cover up the fact that you aren't even
reading at a 4th grade level. It's clear as fucking day that you aren't.
This off the wall reply from you *confirms* it!

I'll leave out the snippage you did because you had no rebuttle concerning
the fact that I diagnosed the problem with your machine without being a

You can start by signing up for some adult education classes. Your reading comprehension skills are terrible. Life would improve over night for you

I've made no demands for David to work on anything, actually. I don't give a shit what he does or doesn't work on. I learned a long time ago that he
(like you) struggled to follow instructions of a technical nature.

You babble about tools he did not ask about, as if I should help him
with this. Weird.

You need to learn to read. For comprehension. You aren't fooling anyone with this nonsense.

In short: you screwed up, as you do, and now are back to belittling me.

I didn't screw anything up.

It is what you do. You are insecure, technically incompetent in many
areas, and angry.

You *wish* that was an accurate description of me. Everyone (even David Brooks) knows that you're full of shit, though. :)
It's amusing that your bestie here knows you don't hold a candle to me on tech, no matter how much you mislead (as you tried doing here) how much you outright lie, etc. None of it helps you. My track record, along with yours, speaks for themselves. You've got to be the most tech incompetent person posting here. FFS, You have a discount that was created due to your
technical incompetence. Incompetence you demonstrated by fucking up multiple computers when you were supposed to be repairing the damn things.

You couldn't even diagnose any of the issues present with a computer you owned. You couldn't even get into safe mode without my telling you the key sequence, and, I don't even run Apple garbage. You couldn't diagnose a
failing HD, of all things. You had no business running any tech shop out of your home as you once did. You are not competent.

Speaking of which, have you changed out the bad drive yet?

And, yes, I bring receipts:

We've already seen your receipts. You've already been told by multiple
people that they aren't what you are portraying them as.

Why can't you let go of your pissing contests and just try to be a
decent human being?

Not my pissing contests. Entirely yours. My problem with you isn't a secret, Michael. I don't like you because you went well out of your way (as you've continued to do) to lie your ass off about me. You started with accusing me
of having a copy of the floodbot either in source or compiled form. You've since morphed that into my having 'insider knowledge' of the damn thing,
based on some things I wrote about code in general. Code in general, Snit.
You twisted that to continue to support your original bullshit story. You
are not a decent human being. You are a mooching piece of shit, lying prick.

Your receipts by the way are further proof (not that any additional is required) that you struggle, on your best days, to comprehend what you read. They aren't attacking me, they are exposing your willfull ignorance and dishonest as fuck nature. I couldn't ask for more. :)

I didn't make anything up. There's nothing for David to deny in this case, Snit. Unless he's willing to claim that he struggles with understanding what he reads as badly as you do? I don't think that's the case here.

What I wrote in relation to the apps was this:

Snit plays it safe by using apps intended for end users. You won't see him firing up a copy of Blender anytime soon. ROFL! I don't see him giving you instructions for using Handbrake or kdenlive, either. He's an end user
David. Just like you. He razzles and dazzles you with bullshit because
you're a simpleton level end user and he's a smidge above you. You're
gullible enough to fall for it too. He's got you hook line and sinker.
***

That is not complicated English, Michael. I can't make up something I didn't even write, goofy!
You fucked up quite nicely here. You can't blame your incompetence
concerning reading comprehension on me, dude.
And you can't really deny that you have such an issue anymore, either. It's clear that you do. Very clear. You've falsely accused me of making things up and then lying about doing so. I didn't make anything up and haven't lied about anything.

Are you going to admit you made a series of mistakes and made yet another false accusation towards me? I know, wishful thinking on my part, but, I thought i'd ask for shits and giggles mostly.

DAVID DID NOT ASK FOR HELP.

***

It doesn't even support your misunderstanding that I implied he asked for
your help. What can be seen and is understood by those of us who don't have trouble with reading comprehension is that you struggle! to comprehend what you read and can't even parse a simple paragraph correctly. Deny it all you like, but your reply here supports my accusation that you have serious problems with reading comprehension. *Nothing* in that paragraph supports
your accusations. It supports mine though. :)

He did not ask.

I'm well aware of that.

You made that up.

I didn't make up anything. What I wrote is above.

You lied.

I did nothing of the kind. You didn't understand what I wrote. That's a fact.

It really is that simple.

What's really simple and glaringly obvious to see at this point is how badly you struggle to comprehend what you read. You have provided a perfect
fucking example of that right here. I thank you for doing so. Due to your difficulties, you have falsely accused me of making things up and then lying about it. I didn't make anything up and certainly didn't lie about anything.

Snit plays it safe by using apps intended for end users. You won't see him firing up a copy of Blender anytime soon. ROFL! I don't see him giving you instructions for using Handbrake or kdenlive, either. He's an end user

you're a simpleton level end user and he's a smidge above you. You're
gullible enough to fall for it too. He's got you hook line and sinker.

Is what I wrote in relation to handbrake, kdenlive, etc. Nowhere does it say that David asked you for such help. Not anywhere. You really should take an adult education class. I don't know how in the fuck you graduated high school - unless you were socially promoted thru the grades. You damn sure don't do well understanding what you read. You demonstrated that with my comments
that you cherry pick to support your accusations. Then deny you did so. You can't really do that in this case, though. This one is pretty much cut and dry.

I've stated multiple times, as have others, that you have a problem with comprehending what you read. You do. You have gone well out of your way to prove that's true with your reply here. Again, because I know for a fact
that you are slow (almost to the point of being in reverse), David didn't
ask you for any help and I didn't claim he did. I didn't make anything up
and certainly didn't lie about anything. I told you the last time I was on usenet to re-read what I actually wrote. You clearly didn't make the effort
to do so. Instead, you're doing what you do; disregarding what was actually written along with it's context and coming up with your own (but wrong) interpretation of what you think was written that wasn't.

OTH, What I wrote about the two of you concerning your technical skill
levels is true. Entirely true. You're a glorified Mac end user. David is too. Credit where credit is due though; you are a smidge above him. You likely always will be because he has the same problem as yourself when it comes to improving. Neither of you have even the slightest interest in doing that. Anymore so than either of you have the slightest interest in being honest people.

It does NOT support your accusations. I didn't make up any stories, I didn't lie about anyone. You really should spend some of the money you don't work

That is the exact quote and proves my point. You noted I did not help David with apps AS IF HE ASKED (why else would I offer help with those specific apps?)

When called out you freaked out. OK. Covered.
