>> You have a Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy in your logic.

> That doesn't even make any sense.

Well that explains the long response but that’s the gist right there.

Sharpshooter fires bullets at a barn and then paints a target on the spot with the most holes. That’s how creative writing usually works, unless you’re a paid columnist and even then it’s partially true.

I think you’re mistaking using swear words with hostility. Not everyone has veins popping out of their foreheads when they call a bullshit situation bullshit.
