No one here is saying your response was meant to indicate disagreement, and no one here is disagreeing with you. My initial post was to get thoughts and opinions, and to my knowledge, that’s what it reads like everyone here is doing.

I was just clarifying the purpose of my original comment, and multiple people have quoted it and mentioned a similar percentage. I’m not trying to argue with anyone here, just trying to make sure the intent of my original comment was clear.

No one here is accusing you of trying to argue. I think everyone’s comments here are clear.

I didn’t think anyone was “accusing me of arguing” but you keep replying to my clarification post... arguing? I don’t know how to say this without getting a retort, but I was just trying to stress the importance of citations during a potential pandemic.

But you’re the only username whose original posts contain the word “argue”. No one else’s does.

You posted your thoughts and opinions on COVID-19 like everyone else. That’s all my OP was asking.

Thanks.

So what was the purpose of this reply and every reply following that? I was just trying to stress that I was clarifying my thoughts when I realized later that they may have been unclear in my original post. I never stated that I thought people were disagreeing, which is why I didn’t quote anyone specifically, I was just clarifying in case that was how it was interpreted. My reference to arguing in the first post was to clarify that wasn’t my intent, I wasn’t accusing anyone of arguing with me at that point. I don’t understand why you feel my clarification needs continued discussion, to me that comes off as you disagreeing with what I’m saying in some way. I have only been trying to clarify my intent the entire time but you keep quoting me rather than just letting it be. If you weren’t disagreeing why reply? If you aren’t arguing why reply? It was a clarification, and now it’s turned into a silly disagreement about how I was interpreting the thread. I am allowed to clarify my own post.

So to clarify, you have a silly disagreement which isn't even a disagreement, but rather an agreement, but is continuing to be quoted because clarification needs discussion. No one was disagreeing specifically, just clarifying your agreement by referencing your first post and arguing at some point. Thank you for clarifying your own post when you have only been trying to clarify your intent the entire time.

Exactly.
