Then I'd be wrong, ofc.
This seems like an opportune moment to tell you that Turncoat and I broke up. Two months ago. XD
Two months is too short. I'll admit defeat after at least 6 months.
What math is your basis for how long it takes to actually count?

You think turncoat lost his manners? I think that implies you think you are a bad influence and have changed him for the worst. I made no such claim.
Mild Mannered, not Manners.
She also never said you did.

...so in other words we're still going to be lumped together.
It made no sense to consider my view of your dynamics here so damaging to your credibility to warrant a strong reaction like yours, Turn. Now I understand it better.
...actually, it's been annoying from the start, and it was used as a means of taking the both of us less seriously numerous times by you (either that or I'm under her spell/that she's my henchman, each used interchangeably).
"Pussy Whipped" though, now what reason do you have for my behavior?

In every argument over the last six months, you have referenced our relationship as a means to imply that our opinions on completely unrelated subjects are less valid. When arguing with me, you say that I'm only responding as I am because I'm "Turncoats flunkie". That you apparently miss me having an opinion of my own, and that you believe my entire contribution to this forum has been reduced to defending and supporting Turncoat.
When you argue with Turncoat, you say that he's pussy whipped. You say that he's taking my side based on his feelings for me, that those feelings are clouding his judgement, and that before me, he was rational.
And now you're going to act like none of that was meant to undermine or invalidate our credibility? What, it was some kind of constant friendly reminder that we work so well together? : P
Look at yourself, Ed.

On the basis that I believe feelings can't be reset as easily.
It was also a stubborn joke. :D

I think they trust each other and may unconsciously give in to opinions of the other because of their deep bond. It has to do with the way they trust and value each other in a relationship. It can be topped with a cherry of unity and wanting to defend the "us".
How different do you think it'd be if she and I weren't dating?
True.
I am not lumping you two together. I am saying you value each others opinions because of trust. It is not like you will always be influenced. It is a bit more subtle. I do think you have independent opinions. In cases of uncertainty it might seep in.
You already both have an opinion on ed. You both trust each other. In the case one of you might agree even halfway with an argument he brings to the table. It is just weighted less because someone you trust disagrees. It's not a major impact and there is self control.
Everything you're saying is based on an assumption that we trust one another.
Hmm maybe you two do not have much trust. It might be everything you do is independent. I can not prove or disprove trust. I could try to say you probably both know secrets about each other and refuse to use it as weapons. It might be from trust or not wanting the behavior reciprocated. It is just a decent thing to do as well for any human being. I do not have a trust thermometer. I think I'm gonna call it a night.

Huh, surprise surprise, it's been around six months since the Kiwi drama.
