“Still making it about me? Is that the only tactic you know?”

No. Just using your words to show you reality.

“Nah, I’m pretty sure waiting so long that the boxes have rotted before making a stink about decorations that must have been there for months, is pretty much a putz type move.”

Do you work for the liberal media?

Making it about someone is a well known logical fallacy that is so old it even has a Latin name. (Argumentum tu quoque.)

It is *NOT* addressing any point brought forth in the argument, it is merely attacking your opponent, and it produces nothing in the way of supporting with logic and reason the topic being discussed.

And see? Here you are doing it again. My comment was "Nah, I’m pretty sure waiting so long that the boxes have rotted before making a stink about decorations that must have been there for months, is pretty much a putz type move."

You don't address the point about the display having been there so long that it rotted, you simply attack me.

I think it's a very valid point. Most people visit a grave during the funeral, and then some will visit it later, but in this case it was so much later that wooden containers rotted.

What this means is that this display had been there for a long time. Maybe a year or more.

I believe you said the father removed it and threw it away.

One wonders how the fiance became aware that it had been removed. Does he visit the grave often? That would seem unlikely. Did someone on the Cemetery staff call him up and tell him? That would also seem unlikely.

This is an interesting question, because I would have regarded it as unlikely that the man would have came back and put on another display without someone telling him.

Now that I think about it, the only thing that makes sense is that the father told him. Probably told him he didn't want that stuff on his daughter's grave. This is probably what turned it into a pissing contest.

Yes, if you go out of your way to piss people off, they will get pissed off.

Father probably should have just removed the stuff and said nothing, but I guess he wanted to hurt the young man a little.
