I don't know what the fuck you're talking about with editing my comment. I think I added the part about you hypothetically living in the woods part after first posting it, because I tried to imagine some scenario where what you're saying could be true. but the point is the same. My point is the consistent through this discussion.

But sure. Whatever dude. I'll take your word for it even though you won't say what you do. Maybe you're a top secret spy or something (but still you'd benefit from the economy you live in). Whatever the case, fine. You're some weird anomaly that lives above the economy of the state you presumably live and do business in.

That still doesn't change the fucking point that Vermont relies on a tourist economy that the whole state (except for you, somehow) benefits from, but this sub shits on tourists like all they do is come here and piss in our maple syrup or something. You can't 'argue a large part of VT is impacted by tourism' because there's no fucking argument. That's just reality.

EDIT: Sure, 'You could argue a large part of VT is impacted by tourism.' Just like you 'could argue' the sky is blue. But pointing out either makes you look like disingenuous dipshit.

You know exactly what I'm talking about with your edit.

I responded to your comment. You then went back and edited your initial comment to create counterpoints to my response, so it looked like they occurred before I responded. 1. Just weird. 2. Poor etiquette.

Your point also doesn't stand. I said 'I' am not impacted by tourism. Not a difficult concept. I never said "Vermont" doesn't benefit from tourism.

There are plenty of people in Vermont who's lives are not impacted by tourism. Maybe you just don't see it.

My comments aren't shitting on tourist comments, they are comments about me receiving zero impact from tourism.

You're such an angry little boy. Calm down.

Yeah that's 100% false. What 'counterpoints' are you talking about???

I mean, I guess can't prove I didn't edit my comment in a bad faith way, just like you can't prove you have a job that isn't impacted by the Vermont economy. ...Well, if that were true, you could prove that by saying what your job is, but you won't do that for some reason. I wonder why ;)

'Angry little boy' lol. We're both going back and forth; you're at least as 'angry' as I am. Especially as you're making silly insults like that.

It's false? So you didn't edit your comment? And you didn't put in additional information that goes against what I said in my comment? Ok sure...

I can prove I don't work with anything in tourism, but unlikely you'd believe it anyways.

If only there were jobs that people worked in Vermont, but weren't tied to Vermont itself, the land, any part of the economy here, production, or labor here...if only those types of jobs existed.....if only.

I don't have any anger about this. You're popping off about everyone hating tourists and you're incapable of realizing markets exist that are not impacted by tourism. So no anger, a little disappointment that the education system failed you, but that's about it.

Go ahead and get your last word in or maybe go and edit the comment in front of this one to make it seem like none of it makes sense. Toodaloo!

No I edited it. I used the edit feature available on this site. I already said I did; mainly the thing about you hypothetically living in the woods. Maybe some grammar or something.

I will often go back and refine comments after I make them. I just didn't change any fundamental points like you're accusing me of. I definitely didn't read something you responded to and then go back and add a response to it in the comment you were responding to. Why would I do that? I would just make a new response.

OK toodaloo and thanks for the last word. I'll use it to close out with reiterating: All of Vermont benefits from the $3bill / year tourism industry, either directly or indirectly. Including you.

You have a good day!
