Semantics of Hypocrisy
I will give you a brief description of what happened and my viewpoint on the matter. But first off, I wasn't allowed to explain myself and they just "accepted" that they won and blew me off, wouldn't even listen to me.
Alright, we were playing a video game, and I commented on another player's repeated use of one attack (1 of the 2 other people sitting next to me). But he kept on using this attack over and over again. The next game, he comments that I was using the same attack over and over again, and then calls me a hypocrite. Is this correct?
I know I'm not a hypocrite. Thinking now, my useage of the attack did not violate my belief of repeated attack useage. Any comments? I just got really pissed at my friends and it didn't end so well because they were just laughing at me and wouldn't listen to me. I kind of made them leave

If you criticized him for repeated use of an attack and then you repeatedly used the attack, then you were being hypocritical.

It wasn't even the same attack. It was "a" attack that he thought I was repeatedly using. I wasn't being more blatant than saying; "wow way to spam that attack". I did not attempt to repeatedly use an attack or to spam an attack, how is this being hypocritical?

This is not something we can resolve on a language forum, Anon. You need a judge and jury.

Ok here is a better question. If I performed an action, then said not to do that action, would that be hypocrisy? If I no longer performed that action after I stated so? I understand what hypocrisy has to deal with but I could not understand which way it went, or both. Simply that, preaching, acting (etc;) a belief and doing the opposite?

, preaching, acting (etc;) a belief and doing the opposite?Yes, that is a form of hypocrisy: "The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness."
