That's the plan.

Actually

You started the rudeness

Do you understand the context of the Maoist revolution and why abandoning pretense of communism would be harmful to China's geopolitical goals and thus they have no reason to claim they are anything but communist despite transitioning to capitalism four decades ago?

Yes or no question.

The government Mao overthrew still exists.

Im going back on your previous statement

And China still claims Taiwan to be a rightful part of their country.

To abandon 'communism' would be to abandon their geopolitical goals.

It would make no sense.

wait a second

back to what you said earlier

that I started the rudeness

You're very petty.

and you continue to insult

like a true genius

would

I don't feel petty is as much of an insult as it is a genuine commentary on how you're acting.

I feel like pointing it out is well within the bounds of civility.

Calling someone petty

is an insult

If I tell you

your of little importance

is that an insult?

Sure, but it's definitely civil. I could have called you a moron or a brainlet or an imbecile but instead I chose to say you were acting a certain way I didn't like.

That's not what petty means.

If I tell you

Your not important

is that a rude insult?

To act petty is not the same as the adjective petty.

@L0GAN @εïз irma εïз stop calling each other things

Im avoiding calling him names

he continues to insult me

To act petty is to make a big deal out of small things, i.e., petty things. I was not calling you insignificant.

1.
of little importance; trivial.
"the petty divisions of party politics"
synonyms: trivial, trifling, minor, small, unimportant, insignificant, inconsequential, inconsiderable, negligible, paltry, footling, pettifogging; More
2.
of secondary or lesser importance, rank, or scale; minor.
"a petty official"

Both mean of little importance

@iowa Second opinion please.

@iowa Is calling someone petty

an insult
