If I understand you correctly, my comment was a performance in which I simultaneously attempted to display my intellectual superiority over the author while at the same time publicly insulting her. Lets be clear. What you're describing, and mis-attributing to me, is an attempt at dominance. I'd say you need to understand two things. First, you simply don't know me well enough to make such an accusation. In fact you don't know me at all. So, despite your pseudo-clever phrasing ("social display", "performative dismissal"), all you're actually doing is making a series of assumptions about my intentions before going on to do exactly what you accuse me of. And secondly, there isn't remotely enough content to my original comment to justify your assumptions.
