I guess it's just the use of the words so and apparently, it reads sarcastically or condescendingly? I'm having trouble finding the words to describe the subtle implication of that combination of words.

You can find alternate uses for many words and then you can go and spend many hours debating your reading of what someone wrote but given that I've (1) already answered your question with my response and (2) those do not seem to be the dominant meaning of the term I think that further debate of this particular matter is pointless. Pointless -> 'not useful', not 'without a sharp pointy end'.
- cptskippy 11y agoI wasn't debating you. I was seeking clarification. You asked how I misinterpreted what you said. I explained how I misinterpreted it. That's not really a debate but rather a discussion. I guess people found what I said to be contentious because I've been downvoted to hell but I was just asking for clarification.
