Re:
That was a horrible sentence. Your writing is subpar. I think 'you' would have been a better choice.
If you weren't such a social misfit you would mirror Iona Mink's style of debate. But you don't know what debate is. It is all a monologue with you. You talk AT people, not with them. You have no conversational skills whatsoever. Iona, however, uses logic, reason, and gentle probing to get to the heart of a position. She makes one think. All you do is put people on the defense. Your anger makes you an ineffective debater. You let your emotions get in the way. She doesn't. She remains calm, cool and collect. You are like a child having a temper tantrum. You scream. She chats. I can't count how many times she has had me re-thinking my position or changing it altogether. Sound, gracious, considerate discussion works. Hostile attacks and trolling never works. You just put people on the defense. Ask yourself what your goal is? To make me see the light or to abuse me? If it is to make me see the errors in my thinking, then you are going about things the wrong way. You need tact. Something you clearly lack. Rethink your approach. Your message is not getting through.
Your new status here as copy editor is not going well. "From you," as in, coming from you. As in, it is ridiculous that this is coming from the woman who spends her life insulting people on this forum, as was proven earlier. Proof, as in quotations, not as in, "I secretly know who's making those anonymous posts I don't like, and will bloviate about it endlessly."
Anonymous posts are all approved by moderators. How many of your insults, quoted earlier, do you think would have received moderator approval if they'd been submitted anonymously? I'm thinking zero.
P.S. Gotten "your" vs "you're" straightened out yet?
