Oh dear, time is a continuum. I wish I had read access and log-in to old SLU for some of my saved threads. I have some I TOLD YOU SOs.
I get it... I have some big I told you so's about the Iraq and Afgan wars from back in 2003... but that forum doesn't exist anymore and I lost contact with all of the bigger hawks from that time. I was trying to explain how the war wouldn't justify it's cost back when it was less than 300 billion and boy did it balloon beyond that! haha.

It's not like you don't still tell us so.
I remember one I wrote as a pretend NPR reporter, hunkered down behind sandbags while reporting on an approaching staccato calliope of circus music after Trump's 2016 win. Wish I'd saved that one.

But anyway, related to the OP, still a relevant topic, my patience for what I even guess might be bad faith or non sequitur attention seeking has just about collapsed. Usually I just walk away or ignore bit sometimes I just bad faith back harder until they give up. Some hard cases never do so they’ve been enduring unending ridicule while I might not even read their replies after the first few to determine if indeed they’re bad faith actors or genuinely low sadist Trumpanzee maniacs.

Life is too short. :/
