    I can’t find any other explanation for the sheer amount of trolliness I’m receiving.

    Have you tried looking inward?

    Hell you don’t even have to look inwards. I told you right here in this thread why people are taking issue with you. It was actually meant to be constructive. But you dismissed it as “feelings”.

      I didn’t really see anything constructive or that I could use in it. I can’t control how other people see me, and I can’t predict how my words will be received. All I know is those four words were wrong. At every level. So I called it out, and I said why I felt that way.

        Predicting how your words will be received by an audience is a core skill in communication, and one that can be practiced.

        Constructive enough for you?

          This is the internet, mistakes in communication are extremely frequent due to nonverbal cues all being missing. I can tell you with certainty that I was expecting that to be fairly controversial, but also to be overall upvoted as opposed to down-voted. I’m actually pretty fucking disappointed people aren’t understanding what I’m trying to say, because it’s pretty important. Hence why I suspect a raid.

          Folks around here are usually more willing to engage with nuance and a calm, polite analysis of the specifics of something.

            Nobody has raided anything. Your comments have consistently accused others of holding extreme positions, when they simply haven’t. You are arguing with positions that don’t exist. And when that has been pointed out to you, you have doubled down on your misinterpretation. All while stroking your ego about how intelligent you think you are.

              It’s a little sad that you think only “intelligent” people can want a rational conversation. What if I was just autistic and took words really literally? Should I just stfu or something?

              Either we got raided, or our demographics shifted rapidly in the shitpost direction in the past short while or something.

                I haven’t said anything of the sort.

                What if I was just autistic and took words really literally?

                Then my blunt feedback to you likely would have been more easily received.

                Either we got raided, or our demographics shifted rapidly in the shitpost direction in the past short while or something.

                You really are incapable of accepting that you’re the one at fault here, huh?

                  I never said I was intelligent. Why do you keep saying it then?

                  No, at least until I get something that makes some rational sense, I said in no uncertain terms. I will not back down from this position. Work on your reading comprehension.

                    Just because you don’t like it, doesn’t make it irrational.

                    Work on your reading comprehension.

                    Oh the irony of this from someone who consistently misinterprets everyone else.
