I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.
Sure. This isn’t an attack. Totally not insulting.
You understand that idiom, but not ‘go on, make my day?’ Even when it’s patiently explained to you?
It was calling me stupid about something that had nothing to do with the topic of the thread.
Maybe you need to work on your interpersonal skills if you think that isn’t an attack.
Stupid is an essentialist insult. I’m describing behavior. Not knowing something is fine. Being offended by the explanation is baffling.
You demonstrably expected an explanation for what I said. Which I gave. And that somehow made you act even more hostile and defensive.
Third time: what else am I supposed to say?
If there is some way to deal with this, that you would not consider degrading - what is it?
if there is no way someone can question your comments, that you wouldn’t consider a personal insult - how would anyone communicate with you?
