Don't be snarky.

It seems you assumed I'm the person he was replying to - I said nothing close to or even in the ballpark of 'eras are better than one another'. Every sentence of your comment was unacceptably condescending. Don't tell people on here to "relax". Or that their comments aren't interesting - just don't reply if that's the case. Thanks.

Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

> It seems you assumed I'm the person he was replying to

What are you talking about? He couldn't have been replying to you, because your comments were not in the ancestry of his.

> I said nothing close to or even in the ballpark of 'eras are better than one another'

You derived from my comment meaning opposite from what was plainly written?! Read more carefully.

> Every sentence of your comment was unacceptably condescending

Every sentence of yours to him was unacceptably rude.

Don't tell people on here that they sound like they think they're the only reasonable one. Just don't reply if that's the case. Thanks.

Don't be a fucking coward, downvoting and flagging when you're called out on your bullshit and can't answer for it. Shameful.
