Would you please consider editing to remove the snarky jabs?
- scrollaway 8y agoI'm not reading snark in the parent's response. Consider giving people the benefit of the doubt.
- smogcutter 8y ago> Perhaps you need an analogy > Here is a video in case you are unable to follow: This is patronizing and rude.
- magduf 8y agoPossibly, but in cases where someone is being willfully obtuse (which I'm not claiming is the case here, but I see it elsewhere a lot), how else are you supposed to respond? Constantly being polite when someone is being willfully contrary actually seems to result in the other person appearing to win the argument according to bystanders. We see this in politics all the time: the candidates who sling mud and make bad arguments and cite outright falsehoods win elections, while the ones who always take the high road lose.
- glenneroo 8y agoIt definitely wasn't my intention, but you're right that I could have worded it better. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I'll pay more attention in the future.
- Chris_Chambers 8y agoHer point also stands without the misogynistic tone policing.
- glenneroo 8y agoApologies, I honestly didn't mean to be snarky :( I'll try to watch for that in the future.
