> In a normal social setting if someone says "If you don't like X don't interact with it!" that can reasonably understood as a negative statement.

Except they didn't say that, did they? What they said verbatim was "simply do not read it" which is a much more reasonable tone than how you seemingly interpreted it.

Whether it's negative or not also depends on the context which in this case is a proposed solution to literally the most negative and upset-sounding post in this chain: the one that started it. What does your ML model think of "I'm gonna throw up on my keyboard"?

"You don't have the social skills to realize people can infer tone, so here let your fellow computer tell it to you"

third person shows up to pick a fight with the computer.

Never chance y'all.

And for the record, if someone complains about a piece of writing, and you tell them "simply not to read it"

You are being a passive aggressive joke, and you are clearly upset with their critique.

People are allowed to dislike things, and gasp even hate things, you don't need to get all max passive aggression over that.

Not everyone lives in an echo chamber of timidity where all emotions must be moderate some of you put yourselves in.

The person I replied to had no answer to the actual point I made, so they tried to derail the conversation to "how dare you claim I'm upset!" which was a complete aside in my comment as it was in theres.

Yet now I am talking to a guy who wants to argue with an ML model so I guess well played?

Are you suggesting ML models are infallible? You might want to sit down before I tell you the news...

I physically cringed reading this.

My comment said something a social skill as simple as inferring tone is too far above you.

Now here you are, still trying argue about the ML model that was used to compare your social skills to that of a text analysis model.

Hint: It was never about the ML model.

Like at first it was funny, now it's just sad. It's too on the nose.
