Why are you responding then? Just to demonstrate how annoying you can be?
Nope. It's an effort to make others aware of what is wrong with what you said, and not because I have any hope of convincing you of anything.
There will always be a minority who fall for your tired old BS, that's true. I'm mildly surprised you haven't dragged out that moronic tariff picture. Did you lose it?
I am countering your efforts to mislead people. That's all I'm doing when I respond to you.
Then ping them and leave me out of it. If they choose to believe your nonsense then that's their problem.
That is a side effect. The primary reason is to rebut you.

Why, did you want to see it again? Here it is:

If the picture annoys you then you must see something in it which contradicts what you wish to believe.
If it showed what you wanted, you would be all in favor of showing it. Clearly it doesn't.
Then ping them and leave me out of it.
If I leave you out of it, they won't know the context in which the message I am quoting was made.
If you want to be left out of it, just stay out of it. I won't normally ping you, though BroJoeK has a habit of doing it.
