@CS04

I’ve read enough of your posts, I’ve seen how you talk to people that you deem are beneath you, I have no desire to continue this conversation @6ix

better luck next time

[CS04]

I’m just curious, why are you interjecting here?

@ViridianDreams

@MaxCut

“Beneath you” doesn’t seem like the right wording. I get the appeal because on occasion 6ix alludes to an intellectual superiority, but “beneath you” feels like more of a value statement and I don’t think 6ix equates smarts and worth. Anyway, the tricky part is finding instances where the tone wasn’t deserved.

Uhh:

@6ix

yeah that’s a tough nut to crack right there

Real tricky.

did you quote the wrong thing with one of these?

[CS04]

Yes, next time

[ViridianDreams]

Maybe if I’d tagged him in it. But even still, making a relative comparison between the value of what two people contribute to an Internet forum is just about the mildest slight imaginable. Totally justifies the condescending snark…

[MaxCut]

I’ll listen to an explanation of why you feel it’s out of line for me to add my opinion.

[CS04]

I don’t feel it’s out of line. I’m just curious why you feel the need to interject yourself at posts directed at @6ix

[CS04]

Anyway I’m at the most gorgeous place in the Philippines, I’m actually a bit upset at myself for engaging in this type of stuff, i apologize, I’m out. Sorry bix for ever @‘ing you.

[MaxCut]

Because I disagreed with you characterization.

[MaxCut]

If you go back and give a fair reading to the conversation up to that point, I think it’s fair to say 6ix’s snark in replying to you was not out of line, even if ignoring your slight. It was fairly clear CS04 was being facetious to make a point. I’m not saying you couldn’t have missed that, but if you hadn’t followed or for whatever reason took CS04 as serious, that’s not really on 6ix.

At the same time, a fair reading of my post pretty obviously Indicates that i was offering the comment up in the off chance that he was being serious. Contextually, you could pretty easily infer that I might be more concerned about his mental health than being wrong about the intent of his post, so in an abundance of caution I offered some encouraging words, just in case. Using that post to take a swipe at my intelligence says a lot more about him and his intellect than mine.

[CS04]

I do appreciate that VD, thanks :)

I’ll +1 the photography comment, by the way. I find the travel photos that CS04 has shared truly amazing.

Yeah, it’s not bad for an AI

@6ix

I’m at the point where I think dudes like @CS04 are actual bots. Like, at one point the traffic was dying so somebody just programmed up a bunch of them. I mean, it took less than a half dozen posts for it to lose the ability to structurally form a paragraph.

No, this isn’t a well-dressed insult. I’m actually literally serious.

You described 6ix’s contributions to a politics forum as “way” less and considered it just about the mildest slight imaginable. It would be easy to argue that 6ix’s snark about about you not getting what level CS was on is even milder.

Personally I find CS’s photography to be rather shallow and pedantic

You make “knowing how to read and write” sound so fancy!

[6ix]

@MrWookie

well
