I find your harshness, in response to a purely positive and informative comment, to be terribly arrogant and annoying, like someone pretending to be as smart as a smart 15 year old.
- endofreach 2y agoI always think when people react so negatively on text (comments, articles, blog-posts), they reveal a lot about themselves. Not in the sense of a "moral high-ground" type of argument that is usually aimed for with this phrasing. Rather: To be so convinced about knowing how a text must have been meant or what the author must have thought that one writes a very absolute judgmental statement, the reactor is most likely either very narrow-minded and isn't capable of dealing with thoughts that are not the first to salute ones mind, or, they reveal that in their mind their proposed "intention" or background is the truth, because they themselves would have only written a similar text with that intention or background... so either way: people being so negative (especially to strangers on the internet) about positive things, for no reason & without being asked, are just full of... themselves... (like me, i mean who am i to ramble this irrelevant stuff). (I was about to delete it again, as i usually do after writing things down & then realizing they're stupid or not polished enough to convey the idea, but hey, i am also just a 15-year old arrogant mind that already wasted his time... so now, that you are here, i successfully also wasted yours. Your welcome!)
