What I wrote was neither passive nor aggressive. My telling you now that I think your response was ill-considered is also not passive aggressive, though it's arguably aggressive.


this maybe a me issue

any kind of softness in language like “i’ll-considered” sounds so sterile that i sense hatred underneath. too much time in big companies.

more sharing a crazy person take on how different words can be interpreted counter to the intent.


I do not hate you :) I think you will probably have more positive interactions on the internet if you choose a different register to communicate in but I promise I do not actually care


ha! i like the negativity since the anonymous thing frees me to be me

i hate being civil!


Whats the worst that could happen if you read GP’s words in a positive bias? Best case you learn something, made a friend, amd trained yourself to look for useful feedback in the future. Worst case you improved your mood and moved on.

You’re in the prison of your own devise, the negative bias.
