I do not read hostility there, just directness. He has a valid inquiry and states he is interested to learn more. Assume good faith.

- j_bum 2y agoAgree. Not sure how, “I’m super interested to learn more,” indicates hostility.
- sundarurfriend 2y agoI think ranscendental50's reply itself was unnecessarily hostile and don't agree with the way they responded, but I can see why they assumed hostility. "Do tell" is unfortunately to a large extent used passive aggressively on the Internet, and generally actually means "Don't bother telling me, you're obviously ignorant". This seems to be a case where it's meant genuinely, but it's not surprising that not everyone picked up on that.
