Instead of this irrelevant pizza example you could've tried to address the real issues with your arguments (hint: the one where you liked/prefered wasn't on the list)


I see I was too subtle, so I'll be direct: you seem to be confused because I'm not having an argument.

The question you might consider asking yourself is: why do you insist on trying to create an argument where none exists?

This is an incredibly bad habit. Arguing with people about their personal, subjective preferences when it's clear that person isn't inviting in an argument in the first place is incredibly annoying and it pisses people off. Don't do it.


You're repeating your mistake: I didn't argue about your subjective experience, but about your more objective justification of a particular workflow.

And you've turned a constructive conversation into off-topic pizza moralizing. Don't do it

(and of course you're having an argument, just a using poor arguments)
