I agree to a point about testing willingness to believe.
The way this R person is trying to sell it is not how it would be done however. More than anything it was done to distract/disrupt the thread.
Better be prepared to back up your claims over there or you will just be shredded. Pick something there is no way you can prove is a sure loser.
R’s tone makes you want to run him over. Watch him turn out not to a larp after I’ve trashed-talked him for days.
