How you plan to prove it is not my problem. You made the claim, the onus is on you to do so. That's how the burden of proof works.
Also, your personal anecdote about one single person is neither verifiable nor extendable to any more than that one person when talking about beliefs and convictions.
Is this really how you two want to spend your time? Be excellent to each other. I know Test_Tickles respects you, let this all go. This really isn't removal worthy, but you both might need a break.
I don't think they do respect me actually. But it's also clear they're not going to bother to back up what they say beyond "trust me, bro," so I guess I have nothing else to say to them.
From my perspective, they do. You're well liked throughout the fediverse.
Believe me, I'm also well-hated. But that's another story.
No one is loved by everyone. I went through this entire chain cold, and it seemed like you were thinking it was reddit again. I do that sometimes too, it's a hard habit to break. Especially when there are still propaganda people coming in to try and stir up trouble. I'm pretty sure (not 100%) that the person you are communicating with wasn't trying to be shitty.
Normally I agree with your opinions, but you are just striking out left and right in this particular thread.
How I prove it is your problem, in fact it is only your problem. You are the only one asking me for "proof", and I made a good faith attempt to do that, but you aren't happy with that, so it is up to you to define what you want as proof. Unless of course you never wanted proof in the first place?
Oh, and don't forget to specify the quantities of proof that you will need as your minimum sample size, because apparently you need to be proven wrong a specific number of times to accept that you are wrong.
Or better yet, you made your own claim, show me your detailed and irrefutable proof and I will concede that you are correct and I was wrong. And I know you feel that a sample size of 1 is meaningless, but you seem like a man of your word, misguided, but still a man of your word, so I will accept as few as 4 proofs.

Hope these help.
