I'm not allowed to use who you used to be in relation to the points you're making..? You do that shit all the time though, why is this case different?
I don't.
This is another assumption on your end. Find an example if you can and let's see how far back this one goes
...you really think you don't compare yourself to your past? Also why dig when you've already stated plainly that you're attempting to disregard your own past behaviors?
A more realistic question that shouldn't take either of us any digging: When do you figure that you stopped comparing yourself to past versions of you, and how much would you say you've changed since we spoke more?
From what I've seen of you here and on Discord, it seems more like your classic teeter totter of two aspects of yourself like I'd been seeing from you for a while now (you're fairly consistent). Like Jim, you tend to demonize the part of yourself that you don't want to identify with, and hit others who express it harder than you would yourself.
My time on forums and discord has been very scarce in the last two+ years. There was nothing for you to see.
How much do you really think you've changed in a few years? Beyond slowing down, a lot of you is the same guy.
You're not in a position to make that sort of judgement chief. This is your initial problem made twice over.
Why am I in no position to judge that?
I don't like answering a question with a question but this circumstance. What makes you so confident in very detailed mental read of my person years out of contact with me?
Instead of expressing your differing viewpoint on the source material, you'd rather make assumptions that I'm emotionally hurt and now a hypocrite with years old opinions you took on my person. It comes off as very up your own ass to blow off someones argument by saying you know the intricacies of their subconscious, especially when your supporting reasons are years old.
Why not just answer the question of how you changed?
Your tone sounds somewhat aggressive here, and I'm not even trying to fight. This is supposed to be a discussion, and I'm saying how I've seen and continue to see things. You're free to rebuke it but it's not like I'm your enemy for doing so, is it?
It's dismissive. You read the op and decided the way you were going to disagree with it was with an ad hominem assumption you have no idea is true.
I see this level of assumption only possible when there's a lack of basic respect, especially in the way it was used to blow off a perspective you dislike
