AITA

Am I the asshole...

In all probability yes

You didn't let me finish

I don't need to, do I?

It'd be nice if I could...

Make your case?

That's right, make my case

Make your case...by asking that?

Yes...am I the asshole?

Yes...only someone who thinks...

I see what you're doing here

Finally, the penny drops

I'll not stand for it

Sit down then, I don't care

So, asking a question is...

Incriminating? admission of guilt?

Yes...what happened to...

Innocent until proven guilty?

Can you stop...but...yes

It's gone the same way as free speech
