    I see you are hell bent on ignoring the part where an Advert is meant to increase consumption of a Product or Service.

    For reference:

    Nike's "Just Do It" campaign more than doubled their sales over the course of a Decade.
    the Got Milk? campaign resulted in a global 7% increase in Milk consumption.

    There are 3 quotes with Clear Context:

    There's what I said.
    There's what you said.
    and
    There's what you want me to have said.

    I made an accusation against you, it's clear in black and white, you asked me to back it up, I did so (hint - something you didn't do on the other accusations - funny that). The Quote, from you, backs up the accusation I made against you.

    Everything else is in your warped mind.

    I'll simply repeat - Parts of Twitter were declared a Public Space - That has some very important connotations, which the law has yet to fully explore.

    Those are anecdotes with conjecture instead of proven cause, of course it is not decent enough

    Everyone else uses ads too, so their purpose is also to maintain market share against other companies advertising strategies. No loss of product sales is not a failure, nor a sign of majority rejection, ie, they've gone woke, but certainly not broke.

    So what's that first one, the what you 'said'? As a refresher, here are the words "Have I ever called for the censuring of you or any member who posts anti-vax material? Have I ever asked the Mods to delete posts or restrict your freedoms in anyway?" the context is clear in that you answered that I had done those things.

    Nope, just curious which definition you are using which has the term public spaces in it. Is there even one? or are you making shit up again...

    Occam's razor, 'no lawsuit has been won, because no lawsuit could be won' remains a valid interpretation.

    Where did I say that?
    As above, you did say that.
    Backpedaling is clearly my interpretation of your actions, it's not a blatant lie even if you were not backpedaling.

    Right, so People not buying it and telling you en masse why they aren't buying it is just Conjecture that's not decent enough.

    Whereas you wish to assert that there is this silent majority that really loves this, but never pays a cent for it.

    Even if we were to accept that it's purely anecdotal, it's still got infinitely more solid evidence than the alternative you're trying to push.

    Firstly - Rubbish. Simply maintaining existing shares is never the purpose, the purpose is ALWAYS to grow. Given the Viral nature of the ad, the fact that it has not shifted additional sales IS a failure.

    Again, read your article about the Lead time on Razor sales...

    That wasn't said to you. You do know you aren't Katman right? You keep harping on about Bait and Switch and here you are taking a comment specifically addressed to someone else as proof of what I've said about you?

    I've already quoted what I actually said 3 times now. It's quite simple - I provided the proof for the Statements I specifically made about you. Not the statements you've falsely continue to attribute to me.

    Sorry - the US definition is Public Forum, I mean - I would have thought one clearly as smart as you would have figured that out, but seeing as you are struggling to differentiate between what I actually say and what you fantasize that I say...

    Circular Logic. You're presupposing an outcome, using that to infer motive for an action and using the Motive to justify your presupposition.

    Backpedaling is clearly my interpretation of your actions, it's not a blatant lie even if you were not backpedaling.
    First lie: Twice - posts 10259 and 10276 - I specifically called you out on post 10280, to which you responded (perpetuating the lie) in post 10284, then for ultimate Lols - when I called you out on it - you posted this absolute Gem:

    Which is a whole load of Ad Hominem attacks and curiously is devoid of anything resembling a Quotation from me.

    Second Lie: see Post 10313 where I show you exactly what I said, to you, about you. I backed up this accusation in post 10275 - and you are still trying to turn it into something it's not.

    Third Lie: See post 10250 where I clearly point out the failure of the ad, referencing the non-impact on sales, then in post 10318 you post this up, as if it was new information - in an attempt to perform a 'Gotcha' - when I show I've already pointed this out, you continue to state I'm 'backpedling' - which, considering I was the first one to point it out, is a literal impossibilty.

    As I said - Stop Lying. In some ways you are starting to be worse than Yokel or Katman - at least they argue their position from a point of Honest belief.

    Numbers for this 'telling en masse'?

    Gillette seem to think otherwise, which remains a valid interpretation. What it certainly isn't, is that it is evidence of majority rejection.

    That is why I asked if it also applied to me, and you said yes. If you had not said that it did apply to me, there would be no issue; but you did, so I've called you out on it...

    Which definition, the first amendment? It makes no mentioned of public spaces...

    Nope, I'm proposing a valid theory, based on it being the simplest one which fits the situation.

    In none of those posts do I claim you have said women cannot be prime minister. Who is really doing the lying here?
    See above, it was not originally said to me, but you asserted it applied to me as well.
    And the 'go woke, get broke' thing you brought up showed you pedaling forward again in between.

    Again, lying about what? You seem so certain I am doing so, yet are certainly unable to substantiate any of it... See this is why you will always be outclassed by anyone of significant intellect, you simply don't understand the core concepts of how to be logical, you can parody them but your obvious bias shows them to be a very poor imitation indeed. Do you even remember what the original point you were trying to make was?

    Perhaps they are trying to save face? Rather than admit they've pissed off their Core audience? And as for Majority rejection - did you miss the part where the like/dislike ratio was around 33% like, 66% dislike.

    66% is a Majority when compared to 33%.

    A public forum, also called an open forum, is open to all expression that is protected under the First Amendment. Streets, parks, and sidewalks are considered open to public discourse by tradition and are designated as traditional public forums.
    Anything else you'd like to be wrong about?

    No, you're trying to post hoc justify your theory based on a presumed outcome. That's circular logic.

    And no - shorthanding the 'fit to be PM' to 'can't be PM' isn't what you are going to claim it is.

    You twice made an argument that inferred that is what I claimed, so I called you explicitly on it - to which you then claimed I was backpedaling (which confirms you believe me to have said it) that's where I asked you to prove it, and that's where you spat the dummy, spouted a bunch of insults and posted up nothing.

    Doubly hilarious considering how much you are quibbling over the evidence that I put forth, you fail miserably to back your shit up.

    Pedalling forward, pedalling backwards - it seems you've got no clue as to what I'm actually doing and are just making shit up (AKA lying).

    Yes - the Gillette ad is an example of Ideological, Man-hating trash, that's pissed a bunch of Men off. That it assumes a position of Moral superiority that it has neither earnt nor been elected to and that this behaviour is indicative of other attempts, within the same ideological framework that have destroyed previously successful products due to the rejection from the target audience/consumer of this particular message.

    So only false equivalency, got it.

    Youtube views/reception is a different demographic (to their market) entirely, and hardly representative of the majority anyway.

    That is not the first amendment. Please show your sources...

    Is it not a valid theory?

    But unfit to be PM, and can't be PM are two different things (seeing your error and trying to pre-empt me pointing it out does not make it less of an error). Inferring a thing is also not a blatant lie as you accused me of.
    Except you confirmed what you accused others of, also applied to me. Why are you trying to ignore what you have clearly posted? Just as clear, is that it was not a blatant lie.
    Yet, it is my honest interpretation of your posts, so it also, cannot be a blatant lie.
    0 for 3, thanks for playing.

    And how much of that point is in any way addressed by the stuff you are going on about now? ToDoLists indeed

    Sure - if you insist in sticking your head in the Sand.

    You're happy to assert a fictional Majority that agrees with you, based on zero evidence, yet you dismiss the solid financial evidence and explicit statements by the target audiences.

    Youtube is mainly Men.
    The Advert was targetted at Men.
    The shaving Market is predominantly Men.

    So, exactly how is it a different demographic to their Market

    I know it's not, but I also know that a Public Forum has a specific legal definition in the US as a place where the First Amendment applies. I also know that parts of Twitter have been declared a Public Forum and thus protected by the First Amendment.

    Circular reasoning is never a Valid theory.

    A Valid theory would be simply stating he may not have lodged a lawsuit because he might loose. Using that as a justification for the a priori assumption is not valid, and never will be.

    Then post the Quotation.

    You can't, because I've never said that. I've given you 2 opportunities to do so, yet you continue with this blatant lie.

    Sure, if you wish to ignore all the other things I said specifically about you, ignore where I linked it back to you and link something out of context said to someone else to yourself, which brings me to the next point:

    Then you are delusional. In the Clinical Sense.

    You first accuse me of Backpedaling, then I point out I've already referenced that point, then you accuse me of Frontpedaling.

    Either your honest interpretation is due to a massive inability to comprehend english or
    You are so poisoned by your Ideology that "Arithmetic of an alternative plan: 2+2 plus the enthusiasm of the workers=5"

    Well it's a completely different point. For the one to which I refer, your meaning was clear, either admit error, or continue to show how illogical and egotistical you are.

The rest of your ToDoList may hold up better currently, but we both know that if were given similar attention it would fall apart just as easily. Stop letting your bias control your thoughts and 'logic', you would fare much better that way...
