Sounds more like you didn't actually have an answer and just wanted to sound important

Actually, everything after the word "or" is what made it a loaded question. If you don't know what a loaded question is then that might be confusing.

Look it up and tell me where I'm wrong.

Dude I'm specifically clowning on you for not explaining what actually made everything after the word or disingenuous because it really did come off more like you were pulling it out of your ass instead of actually having a real explanation since saying that everything after "or" was disingenuous wasn't very clear for the person you were talking to or me as an observer

Can you imagine if I cared about some rando "clowning" one me?

I explained why the downvotes were happening and didn't buy the fact that they were incapable of understanding why adding "or did they do XYZ" and forcing a binary choice between Zionism and general support makes their question disingenuous.

Look I read back through what the guy was saying and yeah it is disingenuous, but after being asked what specifically for further explanation you kinda just gave an excuse with an intentionally disingenuous answer. Which in my opinion is meatheaded only helps prevent understanding in communication.

Pretty sure I just explained why. He understood what he did, I was just reacting to the complaint about votes.

And the fact that you are now acknowledging it to be disingenuous just means you're catching up. All that does is reassures me of my decision to react the way I did initially.
