You’re in a fucking thread about people commenting in a forum about an outage that may or may not have been caused by Netflix


Which has many interesting facets worthy of discussion! No need to be extremely aggressive in your tone.


You are the one telling people their comments provide no value. That’s far more aggressive than using a word not even directed at you


How could that possibly be aggressive? It's not a personal indictment. Tone however, matters in any context.

I hope you find it within yourself to treat strangers nicer.


> How could that possibly be aggressive?

You butted into a conversation to tell someone their contribution added no value without adding anything constructive. A comment of “your comment is useless” is pure aggression and is ironically even less useful than the one it’s deriding.

> Tone however, matters in any context.

You are getting upset because someone used a swear word. You’ll find that is just deep seated classism and working on that will let you have much more fulfilling interactions.

Tone policing never works. It’s a waste of calories and everyone’s time.


>You butted into a conversation to tell someone their contribution added no value without adding anything constructive.

It objectively does not add anything. And there is no "butting in", public comments get public responses.

You are being extremely dishonest in your commentary here.

Again, I hope you find it within yourself to be better.
