Either this is implying that Linux users are hiding who they are to fit in, and Windows users are comfortable in their own skin, or this is just transphobic as fuck.

If it’s the former, this may be the wrong sub for you. If it’s the latter, this may be the wrong world for you.

You accept, must the frog

Good luck with that, granddragon88

That’s a cool narrative you made up. You actually aren’t required to have your birth year in your username on most sites.

As someone who shares your birth year, I think you gotta accept that the HH meaning is enough of a stain to avoid putting it in your usernames

What if you don’t intend to see someone before New Year’s and want to wish them a happy New Year as well, while being lazy?

I really don’t get this hatred for “Happy Holidays”, because even if you want to discredit the non Christian holidays in December/January, there are still two…

Froot*

Cero!

For what it’s worth, at no point was I trying to misinterpret what you’re saying. I actually, really, appreciate your thoughts on this. I don’t entirely agree with your tactic, but I get it.

Mostly, I think you friendly fire regularly. Sometimes, I really think people don’t get what you mean, because there was ambiguity. Sometimes you attack someone before they’ve made a point to disagree with. In this particular thread, the whole thing started with:

Care to share any evidence towards the kicks being triggered by olfactory overload?

Maybe I’m assuming good intent, but I don’t see a reason to assume that’s someone doubting you, over someone looking for some reading on cats. I made fun of you for you calling him ignorant with a copy and paste of a message you used on me, and I definitely didn’t have a point in the argument, and I definitely don’t see how any amount of reading comprehension of your earlier messages would have gotten me to a place of understanding that you were trying to out belligerent me.

I would argue that asking for clarification or examples is not inherently disingenuous. It can be, but it’s also a requirement for healthy discussion. You are equally punishing well-intentioned curiosity. I suspect you maybe enjoy being abrasive more than your explanation accounts for… but I get that it’s sort of a bit, and you’re doing okay.

I’m slightly concerned that you’ll push people away from the platform. The kind of trolling you’re doing is really hard to distinguish from the kind of trolling that makes Internet forums only really accessible to able bodied cis white males

Your go-to seems to be some real ableist bullshit. This thread was about cats, and I’m not exactly sure we need to gatekeep it to people who hold up to your expectations for debating acumen.

I know you’ll respond with some ad hominem attack that doesn’t reference this message at all, but a few questions.

How is asking if you’re okay a show of belligerence? How are any of your actions a show of decorum? You started by calling me illiterate, and just now called me a fuckwit. How does that fall into any definition of good faith communication? I stopped being angry at you. I’m not trying to insult you. But everything you say is so sad and pathetic. I legitimately haven’t been able to get you out of my head because I can’t stop thinking about your complete lack of self reflection.

A good half of your comments are insulting people for asking you questions, or responding to you at all. Your response to being acknowledged is anger. You push away everyone. You must be so alone. That warrants sympathy.

I didn’t say I didn’t understand anything. I’m not confused. I asked if you’re okay. Sympathy is not confusion.

But really, I’ve been going through your comment history. You attack everyone over everything. Are you okay?

Yup. You got me. I can’t read the comment you deleted.

But, are you okay? This thread was filled with you attacking people trying to talk about cats. Do you need to talk something out?

Well he is on the left banister. But it’s the banister in his right? Is this an allegory?

You just say this every time anyone asks you for evidence, don’t you? Well, I’m glad you found more people to scream at.

So, no. You’re just looking for someone to hear you scream. Cool.

Can you point out the wilful ignorance or deliberate belligerence? Not including the guy who called the stuff he didn’t like to read a “miasma of stupidity”

My guy, this was a respectful conversation. Where the hell did that come from? You’re allowed to disagree with @Xanthobilly, but you’re way out of line.

Well, some advice you didn’t ask for, and that I don’t always follow: it’s easier to start a conversation where it is, and direct people towards the productive conversation you want to have, than to start off by calling someone a villain for something they already said. You didn’t make your point easy to appreciate.

I will say you’ve given me some food for thought, though.
