Be mad if you must that your disgusting behaviour was called out, but getting mad that I didn't add "IMO IMO IMO" when calling you out is a hilariously stupid hill to die on.
No you just constantly tell me I am 'wrong' full stop. You do so on items of opinion where 'wrong' is not appropriate and I push back telling 'I cannot be wrong' because it is a matter of opinion, and you NEVER say 'dude its just my opinion' because that would end it there and then, and instead you double and triple down on the 'wrong' and escalate it with rhetoric.
In our next major dispute over opinion, I will point out you doing it. See if you can change your tact in the heat of the moment when you are so intent in asserting your opinion as the 'One True Opinion' or if like in all instances it is only days after the fact you can concede my point while pretending you did not.
Anyway, regardless I am happy you now concede my view of approach someone and chatting in the street is not wrong and the only difference between us is you think there are dozens of places to do the same thing I do, but just not there. We can agree to disagree, just as I might disagree with some of your dozens of other places. That is how things work as we can all agree or disagree on a variety of places and thus it would be silly to insult someone over such a disagreement.
Right, you saw that when O.A.F.k. named an elevator as a fine and appropriate place to say 'hi', that if you are going to insist that a public street is wrong for 'reasons' such as making the person feel uncomfortable, compromised, etc, then the Elevator chat poses that risk and more as the person is confined in a space with you. So best to not get too critical even if you believe the street is wrong but the elevator is ok. Best not to assert your opinion as infallible and correct and to insult those who hold a differing view as that is arrogant and foolish.
You uke, pretend today you 'stand behind your opinion' but you won't dare offer any of the dozen or so 'appropriate places' you say exist for such an approach. The reason being as you don't want to make the mistake O.A.F.K did as you can see how easily someone with a different opinion can criticize pretty much any place as inappropriate easily if they want.
And that is ultimately where you fail uke. As you know you are wrong and everyone can see it thus why you will NEVER say the more appropriate places. But you will still assert you are correct and do so with insulting the other person for simply holding what you now are trying to say is a just a contrary opinion and nothing more.
A person with any humility, is not going to be so convinced his Elevator (or any of any of a dozen others places) is so correct and the 'street' is not such that they begin the insulting the person for the diverging opinions. A person not suffering from hubris would instead just agree to disagree and that would be all.
