Why was this downvoted?

This is correct, parent provides clearly wrong information. And yeah, I thought this was going to be the 12word thing cryptos use, as well.

Ended up in tears, instead.

Some people can't seem to differentiate between calling people the r-word out of the left field and the medical use (out-dated use or not).

It's silly to get outraged about that, yet 'imbecile', 'idiot' and 'moron' are somewhat acceptable.

It's not PC to use the r-word nowadays, it really offends some people with non neurotypical folks in their families.
if i had a dollar for every stupid, unjustified downvote i would probably be able to buy a bitcoin
