MODERATORS
You implied you only read the article summary in the post (since that's what you used as your reference), and were missing key info that you then made a conclusion based on. I replied with the correct info (at least, according to the article).
I guess I could have been more gentle, but it's extremely common for people not to read articles they comment on, which is pretty rude and seemed to be the case here.
So I apologize if I came across brisk, although boy, if you're going to be this sensitive on the Internet you're going to be fighting about it at some point in almost any discussion.
I went back to the source and read it to check, but still just missed the part where it said the one who got shot wasn't the first kid. It happens.
And I could've just called you a cunt and moved on, but admonishment seemed to be the correct course. Though I see you've elected to continue by insinuating me calling you out is "being sensitive" and so I see now I should've just chose the "manly" option of insulting you back. My mistake. I forget half the people here are not adults.
Why would you call me anything...?
Whatever has you so worked up and aggressive, I hope it gets better for you.
I called you rude for being rude, you insinuated this was somehow sensitivity, perhaps I should have been "stronger" and simply been rude to you back.
Perhaps the above rephrasing will aide your ability to understand. I'm not being aggressive, if anything I'm being defensive lol, you're the one who engaged with my comment and chose to do so in a smug way, frankly I'd prefer you never even bothered myself, so it seems we agree on something: this is a waste of both of our times. Good day.
Weird.
