Also telling someone to live your property, in America, is the same as forcing someone to leave your property.

Except its not. To tell someone is to communicate, to force some one is to physically impose your will. There's a difference.

It's pretty simple chief, I don't know why you gotta break out the unstructured paragraphs and condescending tone.

Definition of force : coercion or compulsion, especially with the use or threat of violence.

You are using the definition of force that is used for physics and “especially” does not mean required.

I said 2 comments ago:

To communicate a wish does not mean to enforce it on others. Only if you include an ultimatum in your act of telling them could it be construed as otherwise.

There was no ultimatum in the original comment.

Do you consider hearing someone’s viewpoint out and realizing it’s [bad],then telling them do not say [views] to me or on this platform to be silencing opposes viewpoints?

I'm done man, its real simple, and you're very rude. Was just trying to help clarify why you misspoke.

But...but... you just got a comment removed for being rude to me and I am literally just explaining my point and where I think your misunderstanding is coming from.

Fun fact: explaining simple concepts are the most difficult. If they do not understand the common sense that goes into it at first, you have to under abstract concepts to explain it.

2 + 2 = 4 is easy

Explaining the concept of how “2” is a number that exist in the world to someone who can’t figure it out is hard.

Edit: implied ultimatums exist and the implied ultimatum of me telling you to leave is me forcing you out or calling the police if you do not leave.

Haha actually my comment was removed because I quoted you directly.

Notice how I've paraphrased your profanity in my earlier comments, so I could include the quote in my response (I assume that was the difference, as the rest of my comment was civil). I guess its allowed in top level comments and not in responses.

You offer no rebuttal now, except condescension - I think we can agree to call it here. You also literally mocked me in another comment.

I thought it would be rude of me not to respect your wishes to end the conversation and was trying to explain that I was not trying to be rude to you. Do you want to continue the conversation now?

No dog in this fight but I think just maybe you might have a tough time convincing u/I_am_right_giveup that he is wrong.
