    How’d you get the pass to talk for everyone?

    We the public

    We all

    Ben Wallace does not speak for the vast majority of us, neither do his colleagues in the rest of the party of “me”.

    Ah I see, Ben Wallace doesn’t speak for us because you do. Got it.

    This is really obnoxious behavior to think that you speak for everyone; to assume everyone has the same beliefs you do.

      So what do you believe? Rather than being mad about the rethorical form you could have said what you believe in, and why you disagree.

        I have plenty of times plenty of other places. I don’t feel like repeating that to someone who’s pulling this “I speak for everyone here, …” nonsense. That alone I felt should be called out.

        There are myriad other opinions than the ones you hold. People are varied in their beliefs. You don’t speak for everyone. Generally you can’t even confidently say you speak for the majority. You can only speak for yourself, and that’s all you should do. Attempting to prop up or elevate your personal views by couching them in a fake “look everyone shares my view” is just dishonest.
