    Well, you're getting an inaccurate and biased idea from the pattern then, as I've proven. The "pattern" you should be focusing on isn't that I'm accusing people of not reading for disagreeing with me, it's that I'm accusing people for not reading who clearly haven't read.

    I'm tempted to make another comment about not reading, but I'll be fussed at I'm sure :P. Either way, you're only seeing what you want to see.

    Edit: I've also called people who disagreed with me reasonable. And I have clarified a few times even when people who agreed with me had a detail wrong, this shows I am advocating post accuracy from both sides, regardless of my wording choices. Will quote those times if necessary. More exceptions to your perceived pattern, so your pattern is pretty shaky.

    If you're going to make a comment like this that shows your obvious bias

    Then try to cop out by saying you were only making an unbiased observation of a pattern, you should at least admit that I have good reason to suspect many people aren't reading. The many quotes I can provide attest to that being true. If these people had read, they wouldn't be saying things like the guy said in my last post. That isn't "disagreeing" with me, that is simply lacking knowledge of the situation.

    Where did I say my observation was unbiased? I even said it might be confirmation bias on my part. I even expressed interest in an actual count of the posts you made to try to clear that up.

    I'm not trying to cop out of anything, let alone a forum post on the internet. You should probably relax, I'm not even insulting you like about half of the posters :P

    You didn't say it, I haven't known many people to admit they're biased and continue justifying their bias though.

    You saying you might have confirmation bias came off as sarcastic to me. If you didn't intend for it to be sarcastic, I apologize.

    And I am relaxed I am just an assertive debater. It's pretty clear when my emotions are running high, like earlier in this thread. My posts now are not anything like those.

    Accusing me of accusing people of not reading when they disagree with me, while throughout this thread I haven't done it at all for that reason, felt pretty insulting though.
