i’m glad you can find humor in it but it’s also important that you shouldn’t tell others when to not feel offended

which you are doing with the phrase “some people need to take a step back.” that’s a really unkind thing to say.

(edited for clarity because i misspoke 🙂)

I could not agree more! I hope you re-read what you just wrote.

Edit: Wow... that was a really dishonest edit you just made. You literally edited your comment so it looks like I'm conceding my position, and you didn't even put "Edit" in there. I think we're done here... if you're doing things like this, then nobody on this platform should be conversing with you seriously.

edited, thank you

I've reported you for that. No person on Lemmy should be permitted to edit their comment to make the person they are having a cordial exchange with seem like they agreed to something they didn't agree to.

I saw you block others in this thread purely because they disagreed with you, so this isn't too shocking... but still, shame on you.
