You were reacting to something I said because you didn't ask for the context and ended up talking about something other than the media. The thing I was talking about.
I'm sure you won't be defensive about that though.
Wat? I was agreeing with you and made a joke in the spirit of your comment and you attacked me. Look at my other comments in this thread I don't support police violence. Wtf are you talking about?
Yes, I totally attacked you. And I definitely didn't ask for context either. I mean, if I had asked for context, I would have said something like:
And then after that, I would have done something like explain my position. Maybe saying something like:
And then finally, I might have tried to explain why I thought you should be more informed:
But no, I just attacked you. You personally, not the things you said. Full-frontal attack with no explanation and no questions.
Now that is a personal attack.
Especially when you almost certainly don't actually care what my answer is.
I literally asked you how your dog is doing in another post Squiddy and sent you what worked for us when Bucket died of brain cancer to help him with his fear of the vet.
You've been increasingly inflammatory with the language you use and are more defensive about your positions than you have in the past.
When I asked if things are ok at home that was legitimate concern. And you removed that comment and called it a personal attack.
I didn't remove anything. I am not a moderator in this community.
I didn't even flag the comment.
Remember what you just accused me of a few posts up about reacting to assumptions?
Ahahaha that's right you mod worldnews. But of course mods don't talk to each other about such things going on in their respective communities now do they? Lol
Dude, turn down the paranoia a few notches. I didn't talk to anyone about you. It's not important enough to me.
I didn't even downvote your comments.
I don't think my humor is landing, I was laughing at myself.
