| Also, you must be commenting in response to my deleted sentence: 'downvotes are signals of quality?' Is that not not correct? I get how that seemed condescending because it could come across as arrogant: as in, "I do not need to care what these downvotes mean." Before you replied, I thought about that sentence some more and I thought, 'Actually, it is not so optimal to leave it there.' Then I deleted it. Methinks you must have replied just after that... Even thus so, your comment was unwarrantedly and very rude, do you not think? Perchance you know not of the difficulty nor courage it took to post all these things publicly... But underneath that for you... I detect you are trying to help me, although if you will permit me to offer my feedback and to hear it, I do possibly think your delivery could be better. One reason I think you are trying to help me is because you are essentially saying, "Well, what do you expect, if you say it like that here?" So, I appreciate that empathy which prompted you to care enough to reply but, I just wonder, what more is going on for you than the disbelief? Why even try to be helpful and if you are going to be helpful, why deliver it in that way? It is kind of weird, do you not think? Perchance you do not expect anyone will appreciate your assistance so you prefer to fall from the first floor than from the penthouse and aim low with a sort-of rude response, rather than something genuinely or generously helpful. I do not know. Am curious. Please tell me more about any of this if you want, thank you. A reason I am generous here is because I can tell there is more going on for you than just disbelief and rudeness. But is not the real condescending comment the one that is so unwarrantedly critical of mine, pays it no merit, and misrepresents it to pretend it is less than it is? It does seem grossly condescending and arrogant. |
