should have just called him names to begin with, this was one of the most pathetic interactions i've had online in recent memory

although i guess it's possible he's like 11 and can't really come up with anything else

What more do you want than “I was exaggerating”?

since it was an obvious lie - not an "exaggeration" - not lying about it for hours and hours would be a nice place to start.

But we never got there

because I’m not stupid enough to believe such a feeble lie.

Request an edit if you really think it’s so misleading, I’m sure @meth_dragon@hexbear.net would’ve initially just edited if you were so concerned that this “lie” would mislead others

I that were true, they would have after I confronted them rather than doubling down, again and again, with one lie to cover another. for hours.

Now I doubt it, because you’ve proven to be acting in bad faith by not just accepting the explanation and continuing the initial discussion

refusing to accept such an obvious and feeble lie is not “acting in bad faith”. you coming here to try to gaslight me into believing that lie, however, IS:

“DARVO is an acronym used to describe a common strategy of abusers. The abuser will: Deny the abuse ever took place, then Attack the victim for attempting to hold the abuser accountable; then they will lie and claim that they, the abuser, are the real victim in the situation, thus Reversing the Victim and Offender.”
