But that’s not what you said. You didn’t say anything about not making it personal, you said you wanted acknowledgment for how great or witty your thought processes are…ie: validation.

Quote:I'm looking for "I didn't know that, thanks for pointing that out" or "I already knew that and I'm not persuaded because ..."

Sure, the first possibility I listed is validating.  The second one is not.  Because the validation part doesn't matter to me.  Either way is fine

Does validation matter to you? I hope not because I find you to be dense, argumentative, and ill tempered.  Like someone who used to be smart and open to the world but who has been totally worn down by a family that can't give her the time of day and perhaps also a chronic disease.  I know that's mean, but since you're not looking for validation I figure what's the harm?

I don't hate him.  I have complimented some of his actions here.  You are lazy and it's easier for you to make an excuse like this than it is to engage in critical thought.
