This sort of response isn't acceptable here. I would suggest you rephrase.

- xllly3 8y agoI'm triggered by "isn't acceptable". It sounded authoritarian and I had to go to my safe space for 5 min.
- Certhas 8y agoI respectfully disagree. The specific part quoted by you is substantial, not ad hominem, and not name-calling. I accept that it's confrontational but not more so, (and not more offensive to me) than the statement it is in response to: > Nobody should be expected to make a personal sacrifice to do the right thing. A toddler can't be expected to do the right thing, but you wouldn't let your ten year old get away with this, would you? "I can't be expected to clean my room when it's sunny outside!". I am calling out the normalization of irresponsibility here with a re-contextualization. I am not calling the person I respond to a toddler, nor treating them as one.
- cup-of-tea 8y agoNah. He wasn't calling me a toddler and even if he was I'm actually a big boy and can handle such abuse.
