This still seems incoherent, I’m assuming your the same person behind ‘saagarjha’, who entered into this comment chain and raised multiple bizarre points including “… which means that not only is your opinion dumb it is also in the minority.”

I’m not going to pretend your past comment doesn’t exist.

So the number of users opining in a comment chain is relevant… how…?

Edit: If you don’t like someone else asking questions, just leave the comment chain, otherwise don’t waste people’s time.



You're focusing a lot on my past comments (which I assure you were written by the same person who is writing this one) but I think the best response to your concerns is actually contained in what you've written yourself. You yourself raised the question of whether someone else's opinion can matter more than anyone else's here; i.e that opinions should implicitly be equal in standing. Not only is this false (and you have, long ago, said the same) but I also wanted to demonstrate that even if opinions were equal there are now two that disagree with you, which obviously leads us to believe that your singular opinion matters less.

This is of course a lot of words to say the more straightforward thing, which is that you are the one wasting people's time here, and they don't really appreciate that. You can't really ask people to leave a comment chain while also asking them to respond in a certain way that is very expensive for everyone else.
