This is a pretty meta comment thread. Speaking of different sides, or different ways that you sometimes are, and simultaneously illustrating it.

My goal isn't to get good karma, it's to get a few of people who are reading this to realize how stupid the commenters here are behaving.

What was your goal before you got that first downvote? Reflecting on the change in your goals, do you endorse your original goal, your post-downvote goal, or some third option?

I already stated my original goal, and I already stated that it's now probably unachievable.

My above comment was intended to make EY happy that I saw what he did there, so that he knows that he was being effective with this passage. Instead he'll probably just be upset about the stupidity of his fans who don't recognize truth when it's obvious.

I endorse the goal of getting someone to believe that I'm not wrong, because the above goal is probably unachievable.
