Replying to a comment on:

Middle-Aged White Woman (Free verse) by Dovina

Maybe it’s time. You look at me and see a symbol of conservative acts that hurt you. My kind abused your kind. Now with your freedom, your authority, your power, it’s time for retribution. Go ahead, ignore me, don’t hire me belittle me in your verse skip over me at your readings. My ancestors did it to your ancestors. You have the right. It’s a new experience for me, that’s all. Maybe it’s time.

"is a person who tags any less of a pimple-writing simpleton than than a person who complains about being tagged?"

I don't know, are they? The question has no relevance for me. I don't (and didn't in my comment) equate "complains about being tagged" with "pimple writing simpleton"

One can infer from my comment that I may be of the opinion that pimple writing simpleton's (P) have a tendency to complain about how they get tagged as a result of the pimples they wrote (C)

ie; one can infer I probably believe the premise "P (somewhat) implies C"

Given that premise, the conclusion "C implies P" is a logical fallacy I personally would not make; since what you posit is built on your incorrect assumption of faulty logic on my part, I have no response for it. I will point out that I didn't actually "tag" you as whining until the point where you started meta-whining.

As far as your meta-meta-whine, it seems actually less like whining to me than rote flogging of a dead horse, the "I know you are but what am I" singsong into which all arguments eventually devolve when the combatants have nothing meaningful left to say. See? I just did it myself.
