I hear you. I keep falling for it too.

People on the internet will literally take the worst interpretation of what you’re saying in order to argue against it. While you’re stuck clarifying your point, they just keep attacking (often without advancing any competing thoughts of their own).
If I weren’t so passionate about standing behind my comments I wouldn’t keep falling for it, but somehow I do every time.

So you’re saying people are angry jerks that just want to fight? What exactly does standing behind your comments mean, like pushing grandma down the stairs or something? You horrible person
/s if it wasn’t obvious enough

same, it’s hard to let go of a futile conversation even when you feel like the other person is arguing in bad faith
