You: That was somewhat facetious and self-aggrandizing Also you: I’m the person who’s going to crack and redistribute your shit as soon as you publish it, nice to meet you :)

My brother in christ that’s the exact line I was referring to, what else in the wide world of reading comprehension do you think I was talking about?

Sounded to me like you were firing off at someone for having a private personal project by claiming that you would personally intervene to prevent them making any money from their code, then later you told them that they were being self aggrandizing. That’s how it comes across. You doubled down on your threat with detail, which doesn’t give readers the context to be able to deduce that you meant to be in the slightest bit self aware or apologetic, so without re-quoting yourself, it came across as hypocritical. Maybe “sorry, that was somewhat facetious and self-aggrandizing of me” and then not doubling down might have come across better. That’s what I think, anyway.

Pretty sure I was having a normal conversation with someone and you splashed in to call me out for something without a whole lot of thought. There’s no “threat”, none of this is that serious, I wish you peace and introspection

Well I’m petty sure you were coming across as obnoxious and the vote count seems to agree. If most people are interpreting the things you said earlier in the thread negatively, maybe the cause is in the writer than the reader. Maybe have another look and see if you mightn’t have written a bit of a sourpost originally, and reconsider your tone next time if you genuinely mean no harm.

“petty sure” is right, try another round of edits if you really can’t find anything better to do. The day I start to care how many internet points I’m getting hopefully there’s a friend nearby to log me off. Need to quit engaging with you before I do work up some “hatred” to turn on someone. Zero beef with the guy I was actually talking to, but you kinda suck

The day I start to care how many internet points I’m getting Dude, the points are evidence that your comment came across badly, no more. Something you could learn from, but it’s increasingly clear you would do or say anything rather than back down. I’m guessing you see apology as weak and admitting your mistakes as defeat or some other fucked up macho fake alpha fragile masculinity bullshit like that. before I do work up some “hatred” to turn on someone Oh no! I’m so scared! Wait, you still think you were being nice or polite or something already? Wow. you kinda suck Whereas you’re all sweetness and light. Gotcha. Need to quit engaging with you Feel free. I shan’t miss you a great deal. You could go back to interacting with those friends you were telling me about. Presumably ones that don’t mind you saying you’ll sabotage their income stream because they didn’t live up to your princi
