Do you see no difference between these comments, magellan01?
The first two are rude and insulting. The third doesn’t insult anyone and acknowledges the other person has a point. You made insulting comments elsewhere in that post, of course, but this part is fine and nobody would complain about this part and nobody would moderate it. There was nothing stopping you from making that kind of comment in the first place. You just didn’t do it. Saying ‘gee, you’re up on your high horse!’ and ‘you’re being priggish (whatever that means)!’ and ‘sheez, lighten up!’ are insulting, snide, and don’t convince anyone to see things your way. Acknowledging that the other person has a valid point and that you’re having a difference of opinion can actually work. If you want to have more productive discussions in the future and avoid the mods to boot, try using that second tactic.
