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.
- dang 6y agoI 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.
- nickthemagicman 6y agoWhen 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.
- dang 6y agoI 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.
