Your response was:

I’m confused, isn’t criticism without alternatives itself useless and pointless?

It was refuted in detail.

I quoted the top level comment for context to show that your response was wrong not just in general, but in this particular instance.

My comment was a flippant derision of the hypocrisy of the poster directly above it. I don't really care about defining pointlessness, as I haven't really cared about any part of this conversation with you.

I care about calling out hypocrisy. You read too much into my comment, and instead of letting it stand, as intended, as a directed comment toward the person I responded to, decided to interject with your opinion on pointlessness.

I repeat, opinion. You refuted nothing, you diverted from my examples to unrelated examples that used similar words. That's called a "strawman". The scenarios you refuted were not the ones I presented, you changed them in fundamental ways to justify your opinion.

I am not interested in this conversation. I repeat, my whole point was specifically the hypocrisy of the comment I responded to. I find arguing about the definition of pointlessness to be even more pointless than anything else.

If you don’t care then stop posting about it.
