> I'm just giving you some perspective and examples of real life experience

Frankly, this comes across as a little bit condescending. Another example, a phrase like this from your first response:

> And honestly, most of y’all don’t know any better

Who are "y'all"? Why don't we know any better? This comes across as hostile, like you're coming at this from the perspective of "I'm definitely right and this guy is full of it." I don't believe that's true, but that's how it read to me. Perhaps it's just the challenge of no discernible tone in text.

> Also you wanted to understand the downvotes, which is also why I chose to reply

I still don't quite understand. Downvote != agree, and my comment wasn't rude or disrespectful. It's just not the majority opinion here.
