people like you, who insist on patronizing at every opportunity given, are what make online conversations, particularly on this site, awful.

In retrospect I regret my phrasing, but I cannot change it now.

Still, I have a point. The comment I was replying to contains lots of disconnected insinuations dropped casually. Including apparently that he has had people try to kill him.

You cannot casually mention these things in a rambling monologue without sounding crazy. And discussions with crazy people on the internet are hardly ever fruitful.

So working on improving how you communicate to ensure people don’t completely dismiss what you say is a valuable exercise.
