That would be deranged, and so would I be... if that's what I had said. What I said was normalizing. It is a different word.
Here, I'll help you: thinks that are normal are not normalizing.
Similarly, a rising elevator hasn't already risen.
So are you saying cah can't do this because it may be misinterpreted by utterly deranged people? Should we just give up then? Anything can be misinterpreted if the interpreter is deranged enough.
Also, I don't know what you mean with "a rising elevator hasn't already risen" but such an elevator would experience infinite jolt and would thus be physically impossible, except maybe if the elevator was a photon or something.
I said nothing about what they cannot do.
They can do whatever they like.
You keep claiming I said things I never said. I didn't say CAH has made bribing voters normal and I didn't say they can't do this.
Perhaps you'd prefer to talk to Flying Squid rather than whoever you think you're talking to?
"You keep claiming I said things I never said"
That's... literally not something I did. You're literally claiming I said things I didn't by saying I claim you said things you didn't. I never claimed anything about what you said.
Can you really not be honest for even one post?
Here is you lying about me saying it's normal. In context:
Here is you lying about me saying they can't do it. In context:
I really don't know what you hope to gain with all of these lies.
Neither of these are claims about what you said? The second one isn't even a claim? I was and am genuinely confused as to what you're trying to say?
You really can't be honest at all. Amazing.
Do you think I'm calling you deranged in the first comment? Honestly? That's your take from what I've written?
On the off chance that you're serious, let me explain it to you.
If someone reads about cah doing something, and they are like "well I guess that's normal now" they are deranged.
You can't account for deranged people.
We should not take into account what these people think.
For all non deranged people this draws attention to and de-normalises the practice. I'm not the first person in your own replies explaining this to you.
Buddy... Your on the internet here. You haven't even been honest in a post.
What are you even talking about?
If your coming to a psudo-anonymous forum looking for honesty, your looking for a bad time.
What does anonymity have to do with honesty?
People are often more honest when they can't be identified specifically for that reason. All the monsters come out.
