      Yeah? And?

      I know that you struggle with understanding extremely basic concepts, like “inform yourself before speaking as if you were informed”, or “search engines allow you to find information”… but do I really need to spell out to you that you are under no obligation to continue talking to someone that you find obnoxious?

      I honestly can’t tell if you’re really dumb enough to not know that, or if you’re just so full of blind vanity that you think you’re going to somehow “win” the conversation by continuing it, despite the well warranted abuse you’re receiving along the way.

      Not only is it ok to say 'Hey, I was wrong," people will actually give you a lot of credit for being willing to say that. It’s not a sign of weakness; quite the opposite. If you’re never willing to admit to being wrong, you’ll never grow as a person .

        I’m not convinced I was. I finally saw part of the problem was not defining our terms. I defined mine, and right-wing-authoritarian does not implicitly “fascist” in any stretch, using the term as described by a a altrmyer.
