Ahh. I had to scroll for a while to find it, but this was my last message on that topic:

perma ban for fighting people with the usage of misinformation.

Yes the Nazis famously led by whom? Context matters, bringing up Nazis is invoking Hitler and implying jd is literal Hitler. No, I mention that the way was already going to point out the ineptitude of your choice of date, 1938 being the most apt for your situation. The word evemy, I already offered the definition, you either lack reading ability, simply didn’t read it and you’re being wildly obtuse. We agree, why are you being a Vance right now? Ed: I’ll provide another > one that is antagonistic to another - especially : one seeking to injure, overthrow, or confound an opponent You*** stop an opponent you destroy an evemy***.

Opponent and enemy are the same in the goal, but not always the same in the motive. You try to beat the opponent/enemy, in the method proscribed in the actions being taken.

During WW2 but before the us entered? What a dumb question, of course but that time they were already running concentration camps. Are you implying jd Vance is literal Hitler and runs concentration camps in his backyard I guess? I sourced you the definition. I say he’s my opponent which does not imply violence, you say he is your enemy which does imply violence and you’re also berating me because I agree with you but refuse to use violent vitriolic language. Neat, logic that one out yourself.

He’s an opponent, he’s someone I stand against, he isn’t my enemy. Because when I say enemy I mean someone who needs to be removed from society by any means possible. You seem to use it as someone you don’t appreciate. Enemy: >a person who hates or opposes another person and tries to harm them or stop them from doing something: Opponent: a person who disagrees with something and speaks against it or tries to change it: I’m fairly sure by news rules calls for violence are specifically against the rules and I’m not sure why you would call for violence given that is the only difference in meaning between the two words.

Enemy (From the Oxford Learner’s Dictionary):

a person who hates someone or who acts or speaks against someone or something

In short, you twist words to your desires, and you talk down to people, insulting them, and their abilities.

I'll be hopping another client to post full screenshots of all our discussions, as right now, I'm being painted as an ass, without context.

You're proving my point, that's a ban because you didn't like interpretation, not because I violated a rule and most certainly not because it is factually wrong.

Ed: it should be noted that the context you're arguing for is that I should violently hate jd Vance because we have different opinions and positions. He's not my enemy, he's an opponent. Your proving you banned me because I won't say I violently dislike jd Vance. Come on bud, you're smart enough to see that is bias.
