      I literally asked you a question because your post made no sense in the context of having read the article first. And that is the equivalent to knowing what you are talking about. Lol

        You asked a question that you answered yourself in the next sentence without my response. This is what you said:

        The article talks about how this is not them being assholes, but because if they have more money then their peers, it tends to make them feel isolated and self-conscious and fears about being taken advantage of. They even quote the expert at the end who says “They don’t care about the $4.”

        You would ditch a friend for struggling with someone? I find that hard to believe.

        Now you’re upset about a response to your rhetorical question you didn’t like?

        Incidentally, I never said anything about anyone being an asshole when you said that, this is what I said:

        I’m glad that’s never happened to me. They wouldn’t be my friend anymore.

        You can try being dishonest about a conversation everyone can see, but it won’t work very well.

          So, wait, had you read the article at that point or not? If so, what the fuck did you mean? I’m really confused because you are going off on some other tangent at this point.

          To explain, I feel like your position has totally shifted with no admission that something said earlier was wrong, so I’m trying to figure out if I misunderstood or if you are just pretending at this point that you weren’t actually arguing what you were. So far, you’ve dodged it with every post, more and more so trying to make it about me.

              Don’t blame me for your inability to explain yourself.

              Although, when you complained “well you clearly know what I meant better than I did” I should have known this was a warning that it was something you did, or were going to do.

                I’m perfectly capable of explaining myself. You just obviously don’t want me to do so if it isn’t saying what you want to hear.

                  Then stop being a hypocrite, telling me you know better than I know about what I meant, and simply explain yourself. This shouldnt be that hard.

                    If you actually wanted me to explain myself, you would have done it a long time ago. Whatever I say now doesn’t matter, you’ll find a way to argue with it.
