I don't really care what anybody thinks, but if the person is offering interesting conversation then I find it interesting to talk to them, even if in the long run their opinion in no way affects me. You're interpreting me as being hostile, that's your bad. I'm interpreting you as being hostile, and insinuating things, so I was just reminding you that I don't care.
Do you honestly think I give a crap about your opinion? Because I will forget about this discussion the moment I shut down my pc. I try to keep this discussion going though, because I like talking about stuff like this. If you don't want to carry on this debate, you might as well say so in a civil manner.

Basically what you've done is give your opinion, wait for me to give my opinion, which then happened to be different from yours and then say ''Well, I don't care about your opinion.''Do you honestly think I give a crap about your opinion?

Originally posted by SlayThat's just how you seem to interpret it, I don't think I am, maybe to others it seems that way, but to me, it doesn't. You were the one who started with the personal comments, if you want to look back and confirm that. I don't agree with a lot of people's opinions, least of all Mairuzu's, but our discussion went on for quite a while, no hostilities, no personal comments about how maybe one of us were saying things to try and seem cool or mysterious or intelligent. Because if we don't understand what the other is saying, we question it, we don't assume or insinuate anything. Which, you know... you did.
