(19,768 posts)I asked her first, for one thing. And the topic is looting, for another.
OP is about looting and various lawless acts in that community. She replied gotta stop bad cops. I asked how looting did that. Her reply didn't answer that question and seemed to justify the looting, so I asked her directly if she was saying the looting was justified. And she deflected, tried to change the subject, and refused repeatedly to answer that simple question.
No "tactic," from me - I'm just trying to understand if she was saying the looting was justified. It was a simple question directly related to the OP and her post. No hidden meanings. No bullying. Didn't come from out of the blue, wasn't some grand scheme, just a simple question of clarification of her post that seemed to justify looting. I'm amazed at the sheer effort she put into evasive non-answers, rather than just saying yes or no.
Her question to me is clearly an effort to deflect from my question to her and her non-answers. I mean, it's right there up-thread. However, if she answers my question, I'll be happy to answer hers, even though it is little more than an effort to divert and sidetrack the conversation.
