Friendly reminder that part of the ethos of Beehaw is assuming good faith. I don’t see in that response what you’re accusing them of. These are tough times, but giving up our humanity and ability to connect with each other only worsens the problem.
They specifically said they were responding to what I was “leading up to” saying, and skipped ahead to responding to that, the opposite of what I explained multiple times I was actually saying. They also, as of this writing, were still insisting that “the establishment has failed us” needs to be interpreted as “if you people had just voted for the Democrats” when literally no one said that, and indeed we all seem to be agreeing on more or less the exact opposite of that.
I don’t know, maybe me saying “pretending” and general sarcasm was un called for. I’m just trying to be direct. I’ve lost a lot of patience with the people who imagine to themselves what you are saying, and then disagree, instead of reading and then responding. And that’s what happened. That’s not any assumption about their faith level, that’s just what’s written in the comments. If that means I’m not welcome here, so be it.
I’m not saying you’re unwelcome at all, and I see where you’re coming from. You just danced at the edge of an ad hominem instead of taking them at face value. I’m a sarcastic fuck but tone it down here because A) I’m a mod and B) I fled here to escape the sort of shit on other platforms that feel like this petty quibble.
The only rule on this instance is to Bee Nice. You were not doing so, and I wanted to provide a gentle nudge. Just be a bit more thoughtful that you’re talking to another human; some are not native English speakers, which can cause misunderstandings. I’m not sure if that’s the case here, but I’d like you to consider that possibility in any interaction.
Yeah, I do hear you. I have a habit of being mean or sarcastic out of the bounds of what’s really needed, sometimes, and it’s not good. Point taken and I appreciate it.

Hanlon was right.
