    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.
