"It's not all about you," says person who ranted at me, wrongly assuming what I posted was all about them. Is there a name for this? Realising you got it arse-over-tit and backing off, while trying to style it out by still shouting "I'M SORRY, BUT ALSO FUCK YOU!" Can we come up with a name for it?
There’s a bit of Sealioning going on, as well as Strawmanning and they are clearly having a strop. Stroppy Strawman? Strawlioning?
I quite adore "strawlioning".
Let’s see if it catches on better than fetch
Sometimes I disagree with your position. BUT. You have your view, and I have mine. And that's completely fine. If we didn't we would be the same person. The thing we have lost in this modern age is being able to disagree yet be able to be 'at one' with this concept.
Behold, the enlightened centrist!
I'm wondering if it's sheer jealousy. You write exceptionally well. That must aggravate the hell out of 'also rans' who can't and don't!
I can think of a few but they're mostly unprintable, or in Irish - which isn't much use to you!
That, Alex, is "fuckery."
Twatting.
"it's not all about you" is iconic gaslighting.
The word is projection Alex. Next patient please.
I'm not going to offend cats and compare it to that stretch they do after missing a jump, but if there's something sinilar from some less cute creatures: that.
OMG. I know that stretch. It's either that stretch or switching instantly to cleaning themselves as if they're been at it for hours.
I think I found it: there's a weird sniff I've seen people do when you point out something daft in their argument. It's rather an affronted sniff and I'd not noticed it in Italy, only here in England.

That’s best known as a “Vicky” in our house, after a neighbour famously went full throttle at me when I messaged to say I’d found her kids alone, throwing stones at my car, but it’s ok because I’ve put them back in her house and closed her front door… she’s neither apologised nor spoken to me since!
Doing a Carly Simon?
Like Schroedinger's reply - it's both aimed at you, but also not aimed at you 🤔
Crapologising
Being a div?
ISBAFU now takes its place alongside WTF, AYFKM, GTFO. IYKYK
Narcissism Alex. I have an (ex) friend who did exactly this to me. They just shout and scream hen you call them out.
Beleidigungschuldigung Definition: Apologetic remark crafted to simultaneously convey disdain, superiority, or a passive-aggressive jab.

“Crapology”
I'm sure there's a German word for it.
I bet there is. Great language.
"Milgram's 38th"
Embarrassment?
Jack-knife-boomeranging?
I thought we settled on schrodingers arsehole with this kind of thing
😅🤣😂
Faraging.
Apolograndising
That’s spectacular. (Not the thing I’m replying to. Something else entirely. Obviously.)
Yelling at a different cloud.
“Ignorance.”
‘Brambling’?

Rebrand-ing seems awfully appropriate
Is ReBrand Russel's sister by any chance?
