I expect you're getting downvoted for your attitude more than your content. Leading with a blanket "You're wrong" doesn't encourage a productive dialogue. Neither do "learn to read" and "I'll spoonfood you".
- Bendingo 7y agoGP's attitude is fine - there's nothing offensive about stating "You're wrong". People's search (need?) for offense is becoming pathological.
- tempestn 7y agoI wouldn't say "You're wrong" is necessarily offensive per se, but I do think it tends to shut down discussion rather than encouraging it. I wouldn't have down-voted if not for the more egregious follow-up though.
- vehementi 7y agoNo, there's no mysterious search for offense. If you don't get that opening with "you're wrong" is not very diplomatic, this might be something limiting your career
