I'm beginning to understand that you're an idiot.

See, okay, there are many different methods of communication. But they all work ONE WAY. A sender puts out a message for a receiver. This is literally the first thing you learn in any communications course. In terms of this web site, if you hit the "reply" button you are the sender. Because this is a public forum, literally anyone else on the entire Internet is the receiver. It's not different than ANY OTHER kind of communication. And there is NO METHOD OF COMMUNICATION where it is not the sender's job to be as clear as possible so that their message is received correctly. NONE. Not anywhere in the entire world is that the case. Just try to prove me wrong. Come up with one example, any example. Really, I'll wait.

Now, the way you have miscommunications -- which is what keeps happening to you on this site -- is that people believe they have correctly interpreted your message. So they reply based on what they believe you said. They can't possibly know that you weren't being clear. In fact, they're conditioned to believe you are being clear because we are literally, from birth, raised with this expectation. So they reply. And then you start arguing because they didn't get what you were saying and if they didn't get it, why would they have replied.

Because they don't know that they didn't get it.

Do you FINALLY understand?
