(63,219 posts)Also, you mischaracterize my statements and then wonder why I reply to correct you.
"Stir-the-pot" does not mean "disagree with someone." In this case, it means that you ignored the actual issue of exorbitant spending by the super-wealthy (and the curious sycophancy of the non-super-wealthy who defend such excesses) and you decided to call out a poster for spending a fraction of that amount. That's stirring the pot.
When your game was identified as such, you then postured yourself as some sort of enlightened moralist presuming to teach us the value of self-reflection. That is also stirring the pot.
You will likely call this a mischaracterization of your intent, but your intent is subordinate to its effect.
You then tried to deploy some "nominal vs. real" doublespeak as if the other poster didn't understand what you were saying. Your smug and patronizing tone is also pot-stirring.
In deference to your super-busy 60-hour work week spent here at DU, I will end this here. You are free to reply, but I am done feeding the troll, so help yourself to the last word.
