My comment stated what I thought of your comment. It was blunt and short but not without meaning. The brevity might suggest to you that I didn't think your comment warranted additional time. I engage more substantively with good thinking. I'm making an exception here because I see you lashing out instead of looking inward.

Take my comment point by point and you have some opportunity to improve your writing and thinking. Or dismiss it and continue on with your current path. Or counterattack again. Some paths will help you grow and some won't. Choose wisely. I'm not your enemy -- ego and defensiveness are.

Don't worry -- so many tech people have tremendous opportunity for self improvement. Myself included.

Your comment is by definition (bad) meta thus useless, you are not making any point aside from resorting to a personal attack, which is frowned upon here. It serves absolutely no purpose as you're not developing a counter argument, nothing.

You couldn't even make a complete sentence with a noun, pronoun and a verb...

Now stop wasting people time and get on with your life doing something meaningful for a change, you should reflect on that instead of having the audacity to tell people to "improve their writing".

You are lashing out. I'm sorry you feel hurt or insulted.

My first comment did not attack you personally. It criticized your writing and reasoning.

Substantively, I disagree with about 80% of your sentences, but I don't have additional time to get into it with you, because I don't think it will be very productive, particularly with how the dynamic is going.

I do apologize if I sound condescending or mean or judgmental. I know little about you: you may well be older, more experienced, more successful, wiser, happier, or kinder. You may be having a bad day, week, month, year, decade, or life.

I'm trying to strike a balance between being direct and honest without offending you. I'm quite confident you need to hear this message whether you are ready for it or not.

I wish you (and everyone) the best. You may want to have the last word (if you wish), but I don't expect to reply further.

You started the inane ramblings on purpose, I don't care about your feelings, you're not even trying to make any point, you're just pilling up on people and trolling them in the hope that they somehow cross the line and they get banned if they go out of line due to your repeated provocations.

This is the mark of a troubled human being.

Your behaviors are not beneficial for yourself or for this community. You seem to think you are standing up against a troll. But your words reveal a person making a bunch of guesses based on only one point of view. Based on this, you lash out.

I am not trying to get you banned. That would not have much long term benefit. That would not help you either. You would just get angrier I'd guess.

I'm trying to have a conversation to help you see another point of view. So far, you have not answered my questions. You have not asked clarifying questions. Fair?

Are you really so confident in the things you are saying? I think you will benefit if you can at least temporarily reduce your sense of confidence in your assessments. This might help you to not lash out at people that you think are your enemy.

Here are some questions for you to consider privately. You probably don't want to answer them here with someone you seem to detest so much... Why are you so angry? Why so accusative? Have you asked friends or a trusted person to assess your behavior? Do you have some kind of ethical or moral code? What is it? Does it justify your choice of words (a kind of behavior) here? Have you experienced any traumatic life events? Do you know where the hate is coming from?

Answer my questions, at least to yourself? Or continue being angry and not address them?

Your choice. Maybe. Do you have a choice? Could you reply kindly if you tried? Or are you locked in a counter-attack mentality? What could break the pattern?

What would make you happy (or relatively less unhappy) here? For me to admit that your claims are correct? I'm sorry, but I'm not going to say things that aren't true.

I have not insulted you, and I'm not going to. Everything you are doing is quite human, and all of us have done some parts of it or worse ourselves. This doesn't mean it is useful or helpful.

Your ideas, at least as written here, are flawed and quite unreasonable, and that's ok. Improve yourself and start caring, and your life can get better. Believe it or not, I care. Seriously.
