Man sometimes I make the mistake of reading the notes on a post (don’t do it) and like… this truly is the piss on the poor website.

No one has any reading comprehension and no one can clearly state what they mean. Everyone is so ready to argue at the drop of a hat. No one can make their point with clear language, and then seem to be incapable of rewording a statement if someone doesn’t understand them. Everyone immediately descends to insults upon disagreement, whether real or imaginary.

Debate classes should be mandatory in school is what I’m getting at.

#I didn’t even take debate #but man I can see that some of yall needed it #please learn what a logical fallacy is #and if you’re going to put a strong opinion online you should put some thought into your wording #and please understand that if someone misinterpreted your statement the first time #then insulting them and saying that’s not what you meant while proceeding to say word for word the same thing again #is NOT GOING TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND #but readers my god please try harder. if you’re immediately angered by something #read it again and try to see if there’s any way it could mean something else #and if you’re going to reply and disagree do it politely in case you got it wrong because you WILL look like an idiot and an asshole #if you argue angrily over something the other person didn’t mean #and they will 99% come back equally as angry at being insulted and misinterpreted in one go #like people I’m begging people to think things through lmao #like at work #I am unfailingly polite no matter how stupid or annoying someone is #just in case I’ve missed something or made a mistake #and let me tell you it has saved my ass a few times #and STOP INSULTING PEOPLE WHEN YOURE DEBATING AN ISSUE IT JUST MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE CANT ACTUALLY REFUTE WHAT THEYRE SAYING
