Hey, so, real question for you:
Why are you bothering with all this?
There are a lot of people I don't agree with, some I find downright obnoxious, and the last thing I'd choose to spend my limited time on this earth doing is finding them and telling them why I dislike them. Is there truly nothing better for you, no positivity you can bring to people or things that you do like, that would be a better use of your time than... This?
You aren't punishing your hated foes. You are sticking it to them, you aren't, in fact accomplishing anything. Is reddit truly so pristine and flawless that there is no possible use of your time that could make it better, rather than the shouting into the void you are meaninglessly doing here?
Because, if not... That's awfully sad. Kid with progeria breaking his ribs catching a nerf football sad. Your dad ran over your cat level sad. I am begging you, for the sake of what I am going to call your soul without intending any supernatural implications: find something actually worthwhile to do with your life.
Most of the time, they're looking for replies like yours. Or people who get outraged and upset and want to "defend" their favourite thing. They're after reactions. It makes their day.
Better way to engage is to hover your cursor over their name and click the "block" icon in the pop-up.
