They are surely not the only one to have make mistakes in their life.

It's literally a lesson from the Bible: "Let him who is without sin among you, cast the first stone at her."

I'm telling on myself too, yeah.

Of course people should learn from their mistakes and constantly improve.

But if you respond like an asshole to a comment, it means you haven't learned the lessons you should have. IOW, the commenter is proving my point.

If we're assessing the assholeyness of comments, yours aren't coming across all that favorably IMO, but perhaps this conversation is victim to the loss of context and inflection that other commenters have lamented.

[otterley]

I admit I could have been more eloquent in my response.

Their comment was fine. Also, nothing says they were talking about themselves, so no they didn't prove your point.

[otterley]

I'm not sure how responding sarcastically is "fine." I've found that in real life, people don't respond well to sarcastic responses to ordinary conversation.

The irony here is palpable. Buy a mirror.

I appreciate the feedback.
