    Well I’m petty sure you were coming across as obnoxious and the vote count seems to agree.

    If most people are interpreting the things you said earlier in the thread negatively, maybe the cause is in the writer than the reader.

    Maybe have another look and see if you mightn’t have written a bit of a sourpost originally, and reconsider your tone next time if you genuinely mean no harm.

      “petty sure” is right, try another round of edits if you really can’t find anything better to do. The day I start to care how many internet points I’m getting hopefully there’s a friend nearby to log me off. Need to quit engaging with you before I do work up some “hatred” to turn on someone. Zero beef with the guy I was actually talking to, but you kinda suck

        try another round of edits

        The edits are because I mistype stuff or realise that it doesn’t say what I intended when I read through it, or I left something out. Today suggests to me that you might benefit from trying that occasionally. It clearly doesn’t suggest it to you, I see.

        The day I start to care how many internet points I’m getting

        Dude, the points are evidence that your comment came across badly, no more. Something you could learn from, but it’s increasingly clear you would do or say anything rather than back down. I’m guessing you see apology as weak and admitting your mistakes as defeat or some other fucked up macho fake alpha fragile masculinity bullshit like that.

        before I do work up some “hatred” to turn on someone

        Oh no! I’m so scared!

        Wait, you still think you were being nice or polite or something already? Wow.

        you kinda suck

        Whereas you’re all sweetness and light. Gotcha.

        Need to quit engaging with you

        Feel free. I shan’t miss you a great deal.

        You could go back to interacting with those friends you were telling me about. Presumably ones that don’t mind you saying you’ll sabotage their income stream because they didn’t live up to your principles.
