>>"Stop acting stupid."

Stop being stupid Dale Ruff, but maybe that is too much to ask of you. So go ahead and be stupid if you wish.

I simply enjoy the comic relief you often provide us here as a free service. Keep going strong, Dale Ruff!

Ah, boring.........echoing. "Echoing your words without responding meaningfully can be a way to avoid answering or confronting the issue.

Trolling or passive-aggression:

Some people echo criticism mockingly to annoy or derail the conversation.

Lack of critical thinking or effort:

Sometimes it just means they’re not interested in genuine dialogue," All you do is divide us. So get lost (you can't; you are obsessed with me...)

Oh, you are so perceptive Dale (/s). I never realized you had trained as a psychologist/psychotherapist too. My bad.

Please don't let me stop you from 'diagnosing the mental illnesses' of EVERYONE that disagrees with you. Sure, feel free to throw around your erudite 'diagnosis' of other people's behaviors as much as you wish.

I hope, though, that you FOCUS MORE on the Genocide and the Palestinians than on the people in this substack that disagree with 'your erudite opinions gleamed from your elite education and world-famous interactions with very important people' (these are YOUR words, not mine - go back and look at some of your past comments for evidence of this).

Your attempt at sarcasm is stale. Keep hating. It really helps unite us.

Work on a better argument there Dale, or didn't they teach you that at Harvard or UC Berkeley?

Calling everyone that finds 'flaws and bad logic with your arguments' a 'hater' doesn't really work on anyone - and neither is it very convincing.

But then again, if you wish to provide COMIC relief to the members of Caitlin's substack, then who am I to stop you? Please continue...(and sorry for the interruption)...
