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.
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.
