minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•1 day agoThis comment summarized my point. But you don’t care about that. You want a receipt for “winning the argument”.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•edit-21 day ago This comment summarized my point. The comment I quoted and responded to, yes. What is the point I supposedly missed?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•1 day agoThe point where I didn’t deny propaganda being pushed in that comment.
