My claim was that you didn't have evidence, a point on which we agree.
See, I don't get why you'd accuse e of trying to piss you off by saying you were lying, then make a statement that's completely false. My evidence is that you've admitted you don't have evidence. This is the only thing I need for my claim, as I wasn't making any other affirmative claims. You were the one suggesting they didn't do the research, so when you said you didn't have an evidence, you confirmed my argument.

If I'm wrong, if you do have evidence, then you were being dishonest when you said you didn't know. Either way, you were dishonest at some point, so I'm not sure that helps you or why you think calling you on dishonesty (which you had to misrepresent to get there) is an attempt to piss you off.

Edit: Also, the simplest solution would be for you to be honest.

I did not take the position that they did do their homework, only that it's ridiculous to assume they didn't without evidence.
I also added that they collect data. This is the only other affirmative stance I have taken. Is this the one you're demanding evidence for? The use of PoS systems in large retailers? I don't think so, but otherwise, you're dishonestly saying I don't have evidence for something I'm not saying.

You know, if you don't have a real argument, you could just not reply. Or be honest and say you were wrong to make those claims.

I thought the elephant in the room was that you misrepresented me and then accused me of trying to piss you off.

Quite frankly, I don't know anymore. Just watch Total Biscut on the issue and you have my point of view on this whole thing. I don't think there was anything he said in his video that I disagreed with.

Just stop quoting me unless you having something interesting to say. I'm getting bored of this.

You could have simply not replied.

And quite frankly, if you need to tell me to watch someone else's videos to find your opinions, I don't care what you think. That goes doubly for TB, who I wouldn't watch anyway. But you misrepresented the situation and me, which is the only reason this went on as long as it did. If you don't like that, then simply don't do it. It's that easy.

But I feel obligated to respond.

Alright, you win. I lied, I know that everything I said was false and you caught me. Good job. I hope you are happy with yourself.

Don't have time to read the whole thread at the moment. Ill try to get it tomorrow.

This is a problem. I have nothing against petitions, or even stores not stocking certain things. But the immediate problem I see is that the petition is full of straight up lies and falsehoods. It's seems like no one who wrote or signed it, actually played any of the game. It appears they didn't even do a modicum of research on it.

The idea that such a petition could get 50,000 signatures is sickening enough, but the fact that it was ligitimised by Target and Kmart actually listening to it.

There are many disagreable things someone could take umberage with in GTA5, things I could see them writing a petition about, but simply copying a blatant lie from a Fox News soundbite is unacceptable.

How is it a dangerous presedent[footnote]Or even, dangerous prime minester?[/footnote]?

A store has decided not to stock something. That's a very big difference from taking away your precious games or banning things. As Clive Dunn would say, "Don't panic!"
A store has decided not to stock something because a bunch of people with too much time on their hands claim it's offensive to them. If you can't see a bad precident here, you might want to invest in a dog, sunglasses, and a cane.

... have we seriously devolved to the point of kindergarten argument-by-repetition? Grow the hell up already... I don't know or care who's arguing for what here, but Signa, you seriously need to get your shit together.

I'm glad you caught on quickly. Review our conversation for more entertainment value.
