What the hell are you talking about? Does every Dunning Kruger moron on the planet just talk with authority about science now because they posted the hashtag #believeInScience during Coronavirus? The numb skulls in this thread need to gooogle retrovirus, integrase, and reverse transcriptase before even typing or better yet even thinking they know anything about biology just because they know how to write a JavaScript component.

  Not cool of the person I was responding too! The comment I was responding to was as rude as it gets. They deserve everything that I said. Had a legit question and they attacked me! What the heck. Also I never insulted them directly. That was a vague generic comment targeting general numbskulls. If the person I was talking to thinks they are numb skull then that does apply.

    I replied to that user too, but even if I hadn't, pointing the finger at someone else is not a good way to respond to your own breaking of the rules, and certainly doesn't justify anything. Everyone here needs to follow the rules regardless of what anyone else does. Otherwise we just get a downward spiral.

      When someone's rude my instinct is to be rude back to take care of the problem. Need to step back, take some breaths, and say 'Serenity Now' until Im relaxed.

        I hear you. I mean I think that's everyone's instinct. The problem on the internet is that we all have a tendency to overestimate the other person's rudeness and underestimate our own, so we all come into these conflicts feeling like the aggrieved one. When both parties feel that way, the discussion can only degenerate.
