Just once I'd like a post where everyone is chill and positive about stuff instead of focusing on negative
Edit: I dunno why I expect people to ever be capable of being positive anymore. Dunno why I bother.

You've made up your mind about being a condescending asshole. You used a baseball analogy to "grade" my comment. Then you had the gall to imply that you're giving me one more chance to convince you, presumably so you could get one more jab in.
I'm just very interested in people who, you know, tell the truth. It shouldn't be that challenging...
People like you are the reason the Internet gets so toxic.
Damn me and my suggestion that people should fact-check themselves rather than make up a show to be mad at!
It's not what you're saying, it's how you're talking to me. You've approached the entire conversation from an adversarial standpoint. You've acted as if you were the ultimate arbiter of truth despite getting your facts wrong, and expected me to keep going with the conversation despite showing complete disrespect for me. Every single comment is dripping with this condescending attitude, and written in a way that makes me feel like the overwhelming majority of your sofial interactions are through either Lemmy or Reddit.
If you tried this in real life, I would have just awkwardly agreed with you and changed the subject. If you did this on a regular basis I wouldn't hang out with you. Yet for some reason this kind of snarky antisocial behavior is not only common, but in fact rewarded.
By all means, enlighten me. I admire your dedication to tone policing, but it's starting to feel just a little bit like you're doing everything you possibly can to avoid addressing the topic at hand.
That couldn't possibly be it, though.
Truly tragic.
Believe what you want man.
