Jesus, you took the grandparent comment way too literally. Take a break, dude, the internet isn't out to get you.


Someone said that I need to get over myself. If I told you that how would you feel?

Someone said that I look down on people. I dont have the energy to look at people in any way, down or up. It's an attack on my character to say otherwise.


I'd take a look at my comments, rethink it, and realize I probably misjudged the situation.


So you're saying I should not be trying to engage the problem that people are engaging in verbal abuse with me:

I'm saying you should just disengage, and not stress yourself out by overthinking and overreacting. Your life will be simpler and better for doing so. :)


Of course internet points mean nothing but you completely missed the part where I said that people are attacking my identity.

I didn't take the original comment very seriously but i did take the attacks on my identity very seriously.


Where is anybody attacking your identity? What the hell does that even mean. After 24 hours, your comment can no longer be downvoted. There's only one other comment in a different thread capable of being downvoted, and it looks like you're being downvoted for a similar reason there too. You're participating in some fabricated outrage.


Being disgusted by a state having the ability to invade my body with a warrant is fabricated outrage, are you serious?


I was downvoted into oblivion to the point where people are downvoting comments in other threads that had positive upvotes for awhile; told to get over myself; told that I look down on people. I've had my identity attacked for what? Because I pointed out that their field is messier than others? If someone told me something wrong with my field I wouldn't attack their identity, I would go you know what you're probably right or say you know, I think you're not considering x y and z. I wouldn't outright attack their identity. You people are honestly being bullies right now to the point where it's borderline abusive.


They're internet points, they mean _nothing_. You are freaking out over a joke grandparent comment, and you're being downvoted here because of your overreaction. You wrote a paragraph to my simple comment of suggesting you disengage, but perhaps you really do just want this outrage. Good luck.
