No, if I wanted to be petty, I would’ve called him an idiot. This is an opinion piece focused on the idea that he’s uninformed on the nuance of the situation.
@deadsuperhero Just because you disagree with some things, and you’ve been here from the start, doesn’t mean someone doesn’t know what they’re talking about. And even if that would be the case, it’s an unnecessary insult that makes the recipients of the counterarguments less receptive to whatever is being laid out below.
So if it’s in good faith, then I think that’s just a poor choice of title. Only wanted to point that out. Feel free to ignore it.
@deadsuperhero Why the ad hominem in the title? Completely unnecessary, and actually proving his point about pettiness.
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
/s
Probably true.
@NettoHikari Says a person who does unpaid work for Condé Nast? In order to prove the same point again? Cool.
The “/s” indicates sarcasm.
@NettoHikari Ah OK. Wasn’t aware of that shorthand. First time I’ve ever seen it on fedi.
Sorry, as you guessed right, I’m a Reddit refugee. Pretty common on there.

I promise, this is in good faith.

But he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Either that, or he’s knowingly spouting bullshit in bad faith.
So I guess he could just be a liar. But I doubt that’s what you mean.
Well, I agree with him, so I guess I’m also an idiot. Luckily, my instance admin is also such an idiot. There are a lot of us idiots.
