on tilt the way you are right now

I got increasingly irritated with his faux innocence as the evening progressed. I should probably have stopped around midnight.

you know this isn't true

My turn to be surprised. Which part isn't true? It seemed true to me when I wrote it at 2 AM, and it seems true to me when I'm reading it again now at 8 AM (curse these early morning meetings!).

Is there a way for us to have this conversation without each of your comments adding to the list of specious accusations you're making? There's nothing "faux" about his innocence.

Ok, you win. As the evening progressed, I got increasingly annoyed with the way that he gave every outward appearance of acting like a dishonest troll, despite the fact that he is actually as pure as the driven snow and never had anything but the best interests of YC at heart. Happy?

Please look up confirmation bias. And (please) do not lecture me about my lack of awareness of the situation due to my newbie status.
