[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the trick here is to make an unsubstantiated claim, when asked for a source vigorously Google and link whatever you can find without reading. Then when confronted with that, change the burden. Then when presented with a factual claim to deflect and engage in whataboutism.

Good job guys. You’re only convincing yourselves. [/quote]

"I think bicyclists don't stop at stop signs" is not a factual claim.[/quote]
So if I understand correctly, your belief is that cyclists in DC scrupulously follow all rules. Which is interesting, because then why would cyclists in VA lobby for the state to pass a law specifically exempting them from stopping at stop signs? There should be no reason to do that at all.

You are engaged in I don’t know what purpose or goal. But it really does a disservice to other cyclists. [/quote]

No, my belief is that "I think bicyclists don't stop at stop signs" is not a factual claim.[/quote]

PP here. I mean, except insofar that it's factually correct that you do think that.[/quote]
This is literally gibberish. [/quote]

Only if you use "literally" to mean "figuratively", which many people do, these days.[/quote]

DP, the PP is correct. Your second sentence is quite literally gibberish. At any rate, you made the assertion that "I think bicyclists don't stop at stop signs" is a factual claim (it's not), and then projected onto the PP what you assumed their position to be after they quite gently informed you of your ignorance, and upon a very kind refresher of what the PP's actual position is, you once again projected onto the PP what you assumed their position to be.

Do you ever listen to people and respond to the points they're making, rather than the points you assume they're making because they're disagreeing with you?[/quote]
You captured very well a lot of the burden shifting and projecting that this person engages in.

What interests me though is that they refuse to acknowledge your post and have just moved on to mindlessly arguing some other incoherent point. [/quote]
