They frequently get a fuck ton of down votes for spewing batshit crazy rhetoric.

What aren't you getting?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I was just asking, fuck. No need to be condescending.

[–] jaykrown@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's the guy that wrote this a couple months ago when I hurt their feelings.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Well that explains this:

I said I had them tagged as 'vegan' douche. Which is context.

They genuinely believe saying someone is a vegan was sufficient context to explain. They're just a bigot towards vegans.

[–] jaykrown@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The funniest thing is that I'm not vegan at all, which shows how fucking stupid they really are.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 4 days ago

Lmao, "are the vegans in the room with us right now?"

[–] foggy@lemmy.world -1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Your response/question wasn't exactly neutral in tone. Maybe don't take a (second) swing here.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Saying you have someone tagged as a douche with zero context "wasn't exactly neutral in tone" either. Which is why I asked.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world -1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

I said I had them tagged as 'vegan' douche. Which is context.

Also I'm referring to OP in that post, so you know, the context is... The thread were both in.

It wasn't intended to be neutral in tone. I was clearly making a remark at what's behind OPs entire posting of this thread. Clearly others had no issue connecting these dots.

You're 0/3.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Why are you so hostile? I asked a question. That's it. That's literally all I did. I'm not a mind reader. All you had to say was "this poster has a history of posting snarky things that get downvoted" when I asked and it would've made sense. Not everyone replying to you is attacking you. Not everyone is keeping score. Not everyone is tone policing you. Believe it or not, some people just wanna talk. Some people are just curious when they don't understand why something was said. Is that so hard to believe? Is that really so hard to believe foggy? That when I asked you how it was relevant I was just curious how it was relevant? That I didn't have an ulterior motive? That I wasn't mad? That I wasn't trying to get you?

[–] foggy@lemmy.world -4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm just blocking you at this point. You're ridiculous.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Bruh.

Sit back for a minute and take some deep breaths. Everything is going to be okay. You're getting all worked up over nothing.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's feels like so many people online just willfully interpret everything as rudely as possible. It's so exhausting sometimes.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yeah seriously, I saw nothing rude about the comment that started this whole mess.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 5 days ago

That you, that's validating.
