To be clear, not talking about this community, obviously 😛.
What’s the point of writing down rules, if mods just do what they want? But I suppose that’s the risk you take when you call someone a liar in a small community; they might be a mod.
Edit: I’m not trying to say that mods suck, they perform a useful and often thankless job. Just that it can be difficult for small communities to get a healthy number of good mods, which can become a problem.
You didn’t ask that question. I answered the one you did. Congrats on the novel combination of moving the goalposts and putting words in people’s mouths, I guess? Seriously, do you not read your own words?
People keep telling you which parts of that conversation would have been better left out if you wanted to sound sincere, but all you do is further attempt to weaponize your feigned ignorance.
You know damn well that you’re acting like a condescending prick. Enough people have pointed out the things you could have changed in that exchange so that you didn’t sound like a condescending prick. And now, here you are, acting like a condescending prick to anyone who dares to answer the question you asked on a public forum.
Literally nobody has suggested any better way to say anything, despite direct questions throughout, asking exactly that.
The entire problem in the root thread was someone going ‘what did you want?!’ when I said: yes, thanks. And everyone saying that was terribly rude also thinks it was disagreement. So the question of ‘what else was I supposed to do’ goes unanswered, and everybody piling on to say ‘well not that’ is making the same error that is highlighted and corrects in the root thead.
And you in particular have nothing to add but increasingly shallow name-calling and ‘well, don’t.’ Don’t fucking talk down to me about reading my own words when you just got done declaring me unworthy of human interaction, after being shocked, shocked!, that someone would remain confused by a dozen people repeating the same mistake.
I am genuinely disappointed in this community’s moderators for not already showing you the door over the worst of your hypocritical abuse. Did you have anything more you wanted to spit before going on my blocklist and out of my sight?
When someone tells you “this thing you said was unnecessary and you would have avoided the conflict if you’d left it out” a dozen times and you continue to demand answers like nobody’s even responded, it becomes difficult not to treat you the way you treat others. In every one of those interactions in the thread you linked, you added something to your otherwise inocuous post that was entirely unnecessary and extremely inflammatory. These things have been pointed out to you repeatedly. Had you not said them, you would have had no problems. Why the fuck is this so hard to understand?
Also, I’m not saying you’re not worthy of human interaction, I’m just saying that nobody’s going to tolerate your bullshit and you’ll end up pushing all your friends and family away one by one if any of them have even the faintest semblance of a spine.
