    I’m not strawmaning you. I’m flatly saying you’re wrong. I’m saying it’s not as often as you’re protraying. That your inflating the severity of the problem. Again you said “incessant” when you already pointed out it doesn’t happen often enough to fit that characterization.

      I’m not strawmaning you

      No, you’re saying something I haven’t said is wrong. I keep telling you it’s not once or twice, and yet you still keep arguing with the idea of once or twice. That’s the very definition of a strawman.

      you already pointed out it doesn’t happen often enough to fit that characterization.

      I did not. You made that up. I’ve been using the platform for several years. It has refused to cease, despite my protests. Again, the definition of incessant.

        I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume you weren’t being literal; That you were being hyperbolic, as I said. It’s not Strawmaning if I’m saying your wrong in how often it hapens. Which I am. It’s not as often as you say.

        It’s literally only a couple of times a year. Specifically when they have a sale. That’s all. Nothing more. Ever. In total your’re only seeing the large ad twice a year. And the upgrade button in the corner of the website for a week or so, as long as each sale is on.

        Your characterization and annoyance are extreme and unreasonable.

        That’s what I’m saying. I’m done.
