Not even wrong.

Let me paraphrase: "I'm higher status than you are, so I can disrespect you whenever I like".

Boring.

I've been able to defeat 2000 rated humans with attacks like that, so at the point WukongJS plays the perfect defense and finds the perfect attack it feels inhuman.
Wow!
That was tough!
Awesome game!
Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed it!

Boring.
Not even wrong refers to the quality of your prior argument. Boring, on the other hand, is a personal comment.

Again. Not even wrong. Premise cyclically rebounds on itself. You are actually talking about you. Have a nice day.

it means that an answer is of even lower quality than being wrong. That might be the case, but if you state something like that, you should at least also state WHY you label a post like that. If you don't, _your_ post is insulting.

Not even wrong.

Essence of a not even wrong is that it lacks even the attribute of engage-ability.
Thus, sentence one above doesn’t get the meaning right. Sentence two cyclically negates itself as a consequence. Sentence three doesn’t follow and is trolling. Why do I bother? Oh, yes, it’s a technical forum and erroneous technical statements are worth an appropriate challenge. I might respond to trolling just once. That’s it. Have a nice day.

Thank you - and apologies for saying "boring" - it was harsh. "Not even wrong" is a new expression for you, and thus represents personal growth: it's good that you've moved on from "Everything you know is wrong", and it was churlish of me to not give positive feedback. :wink:

Wrong. Projecting back to yourself again.

Then either post a challenge, or an explanation of why something is wrong. People who just scream "Wrong! Wrong!" (even if something -is- wrong) are the worst teachers, because you can't learn anything from them. If you state that something is wrong, you should also explain what would be right.

It reminds me of a few politicians in the Netherlands:

Politician: "X is ***, and it should change, right now!"
Interviewer: "If you become prime minister, how would you then change or replace this current X?"
Politician: "..." <crickets> (or some sort of non-answer)
