    My response was to the implicit irony of

    The ole can have criticism without perfect solutions response. Cool, how useless and pointless of you.

    Everything else is opinion, and I’m not really invested in opinions.

      Your response was:

      I’m confused, isn’t criticism without alternatives itself useless and pointless?

      It was refuted in detail.

      I quoted the top level comment for context to show that your response was wrong not just in general, but in this particular instance.

        My comment was a flippant derision of the hypocrisy of the poster directly above it. I don’t really care about defining pointlessness, as I haven’t really cared about any part of this conversation with you.

        I care about calling out hypocrisy. You read too much into my comment, and instead of letting it stand, as intended, as a directed comment toward the person I responded to, decided to interject with your opinion on pointlessness.

        I repeat, opinion. You refuted nothing, you diverted from my examples to unrelated examples that used similar words. That’s called a “strawman”. The scenarios you refuted were not the ones I presented, you changed them in fundamental ways to justify your opinion.

        I am not interested in this conversation. I repeat, my whole point was specifically the hypocrisy of the comment I responded to. I find arguing about the definition of pointlessness to be even more pointless than anything else.
