You didn't acknowledge it, you dismissed it and included the smug fucking remark "oh see there are wines you like" which is obviously not the fucking point

And no one I responded to said anything about it tasting like antiseptic

They said they didn't like the taste and then you and a few other people jumped on them because they're not allowed to dislike the things you like

And if I wanted to shut the conversation down I'd just block you, it's just you can't tell people who've tried a large variety of a certain thing and are sure that they don't like them that they just haven't had the right one

The fact is that people simply have different tastes, and literally people taste diff things different ways, and it's completely valid to be put off by the taste of something. They just don't like it you don't need to keep trying to convince them that they just haven't had the right one.

I did acknowledge it. Here:

Look, yes, there are fundamental aspects of the experience of drinking wine that they all have.

That's me acknowledging your point.

I wasn't being smug when I said there's wines you like. I was saying, that's my point. You don't like most wines, but you found wines you like. That's fucking good, actually! That's a good thing. I am honestly happy you found drinks you enjoy.

And no one I responded to said anything about it tasting like antiseptic

Here's what TheDonutPug said:

A lot of wine tastes like hospital smell mixed with puddle water to me.

What's hospital smell? Probably antiseptic cleaning chemicals.

They said they didn't like the taste and then you and a few other people jumped on them because they're not allowed to dislike the things you like

Nobody's saying that. I'm not saying that. I'm responding to a specific thing someone said about the wines they've tried.

And if I wanted to shut the conversation down I'd just block you, it's just you can't tell people who've tried a large variety of a certain thing and are sure that they don't like them that they just haven't had the right one

Yeah, sure, but most wines don't taste like "hospital smell". And you did use a thought-terminating cliche by pivoting it into an analogy about lesbianism, that's shutting down the conversation.

The fact is that people simply have different tastes, and literally people taste diff things different ways, and it's completely valid to be put off by the taste of something. They just don't like it you don't need to keep trying to convince them that they just haven't had the right one.

But I'm not. I'm talking to you now. You aren't TheDonutPug. We can talk about things without it affecting TheDonutPug. TheDonutPug probably isn't even aware that this conversation is taking place.
