Why don't you flag?

G to A: I’m not afraid of ideas, I’ll converse with you…

That is hostile, period. You are arguing degree at this point and have no leg to stand on with regards to purpose. You singled out another user, and insulted them in a very passive aggressive way.

If you are seriously arguing that was flag and deletion worthy, so is 90% of this thread, and a good portion of all internet discussion. My point is that the Mod is enabling hypersensitivity of a level that is not appropriate in an open forum.

@Skeptic

So, by your own actions you do not accept such unilateral declarations.

i respect questions and requests, not orders, from equals.

[emo_pinata]

I’m not going to repeat myself, and I am sorry your feelings were hurt. You have not communicated your message of the moderators enabling hypersensitivity well, I cannot find that message in the tone or body of your initial post which instead seems focused on favored users singling other users out.

false equivalence.

Maybe answer the question about your own behavior rather than changing the subject to 90% of all behavior.

Your behavior is at issue here. Accept that.

You’d like me to accept that my behavior is questionable?

SHOW ME WHAT THAT ACCEPTANCE LOOKS LIKE WHEN YOU DO IT

hint: it looks like answering questions asked of you, by people you treat as equals.

90% of us are here for that.

You’re being too obtuse for me, I don’t recall an non-rhetorical question. I’ve been posting in a variety of forums since before there was a WWW, and I’ve never heard of anyone getting flagged and deleted in a forum for adults for such a mild sentence.

@AcerPlatanoides

Maybe in context you seemed more hostile?

I see three easy answers: Yes, No, or Maybe. YMMV. I lean towards saying yes, in context you seemed TO ME to behave more hostile than you a) realize b) are willing to admit to publicly.

Do you think that maybe, in context, you came across as more hostile than you currently think you did? I do. I really truly do think you came off as hostile, and you now seem hostile to learning that about yourself.

Are you actually empathy challenged? Drinking perhaps? Autistic? I’m hoping for an out that doesn’t cause your behavior to come across as so… hateful. Calling people obtuse as you manage not to admit a single fault…

I mean really.

You want to improve the tone of the conversation or don’t you?

it’s just the worst when the free ice cream isn’t your favorite flavor.

You should totally ask for double your money back

@gellfex

Otherwise you’re blowing smoke and going all Potter Stewart “I know it when I see it”.

I’m asking you if you know it when you see it and it happens to be you, or do you only see it when it’s other people?

Not that I expect you to address or acknowledge a question, as you go on about respect and how it really works while calling me ‘teacher’.
