You need to review how you’ve acted in this thread.
I said Apple needs to be hit harder. You said they probably never will be. You said only consumers could help. I said that’s fatalist bullshit. You’ve since insisted you’d never be fatalist about this… while being fatalist in literally every comment. Quoting you to prove it just makes you scoff louder.
And now you want to scold me for a tone that is largely imaginary. Listen: when I am being an asshole, I’m not fucking shy about it. I know exactly how I prod people in internet arguments. So when I tell you you’re projecting, it’s not some insistence I’ve never done wrong or been rude, it is frustration for how you’re ignoring why and how I am actually giving you shit. If you’re going to whinge about being hassled then the least you can do is recognize what you’re being hassled about.
Adding to that list: tone policing is abuse. If I read this haranguing (aggressive cheerleader, pummeling people!) and tell you where to shove it, well, that must prove the haranguing was right! No way a middle finger is a valid response when ‘calm down, honey’ is lobbed at, say, one sentence expressing disinterest. Or if you’d prefer a direct quote, “take a breath, and go outside.” Sure, guy who responded to my top-level comment, clearly I am picking a fight with you, by being exasperated with the shit you keep saying. Your bickering on this website is totally different from my bickering on this website.
Obviously I should bend over backwards to please you, o sainted pessimist. Arguing just makes you double down. Right? “Good luck trying to pummel people into being more optimistic.” God forbid anyone try unconscionable language like “baloney” or “stop.” You must coaxed gently from the ledge, with soft pillows and a lilting voice. I mean god fucking dammit, aggressive cheerleader, are you so pig-ignorant you’ve never heard of pessimism? The thing you’re criticizing? News flash about that group you’re tired of. They exist! I’m sorry we can’t all live in the magical fantasy land where everything goes right forever, la dee dee da da.
Gosh, why can’t you just have this dialogue with me? You seem disinterested for some reason.
