    It’s stone. Stone is full of cracks. It will get into those cracks and not wash off.

      Interesting that you aren’t linking to where I said that. Perhaps it was because I said it in the other thread yesterday and not today after I read this article and found out I was wrong?

      Is it that you’re being highly dishonest or is that just my negativity and lack of productivity that made me lack psychic powers?

        So you said it yesterday without any proof or knowledge? Why would you make such a statement when you come from a place of ignorance? Would you have come here and declared you’ve reversed your position and apologized to the people you zealously argued against from said place of ignorance or did you only do so when called out?

        “Said” is past tense. Yesterday, when you were pretending to be an authority on historic rocks, you said it wouldn’t wash off. I didn’t see that thread and immediately understood what they meant.

        They weren’t being even slightly dishonest, but it’s clear you are. Would you have admitted you were wrong if you weren’t called out by name? My gut feeling is “not a chance”.

        You’re just arguing from a petty and pedantic place while half the globe is frying.

        Maybe just shut up. You wont’ regret it, you won’t get stuck ruminating on all these internet strangers who don’t like you, you can get on with your day and let people who care more about our world than old rocks get on with our day as well.

          You might read the order of comments here and notice that people are attacking me, not the other way around. You included, I may add.

            okay so you’re a victim, maybe someone will wear a colored ribbon for you, changes nothing about my suggestion.

              I never claimed to be a victim. You, however, claimed I was the one arguing with people when it’s actually people arguing with me.

              It’s not my fault you said something that was false.

                OK, I think maybe you should take some time before you respond.

                I never claimed to be a victim.

                OK.

                You might read the order of comments here and notice that people are attacking me…

                What do we call someone who is the subject of an attack?

                I think you’ve got to just give up arguing this. You made a mistake, which is fine if we own up to it and don’t repeat it. In the future, don’t dismiss protests because of perceived damage that you don’t actually have any knowledge of. You aren’t going to win the argument here, which shouldn’t be your goal, but you can prevent yourself from making the same mistake in the future.

                You inherently claimed to be a victim by claiming that people were attacking you. You’ve done an embarrassingly bad job of damage control today.

        You may have assumed I was talking about this thread, and not making a reference to what you went on about for an hour arguing with everyone abiut yesterday (edit: or 2 days ago I guess). But I didn’t say that, and you were wrong.

          Ah, so you were just ignoring the fact that I admitted I was wrong in this thread and were just going to pretend that never happened. Which is very productive and not at all negative or tearing me down.

          I realize that admitting you are wrong is the worst possible thing you can do on the internet, but I still admitted I was wrong about there being any permanent damage. And was relieved about it.
