    If you begin your comment with “lmao” it’s immediately condescending and you’re unlikely to convince anyone about what you’re saying.

      From my perspective, they made an outlandish statement that I vehemently disagreed with, if anything my response was more civil than usual.

      EDIT: they not you

        I’m not even the same person you were originally responding to. Just saying, if your goal is to get ideas across it’s better to be nice. If you just want to dunk on people and sink to their level, then carry on.

          Right, I’ll add an edit. Sometimes discussion aren’t meant for the other side, it’s for the viewers.

        I’m making a general statement, not really representing my opinion in this particular conversation. If you care about what you’re standing up for, you should do your best to get it across to people, the perception is as much the fault of the listener as it is on the conveyor of the information and how they do it.
