You totally had me until you got offensive. Just like DogMuffins comment getting offensive is also not particularly constructive you know.
I totally had you? Like I'm some tricksky little hobbitses that almost made you think taters was nice until I said a mean thing too?
Their using offensive words wasn't my main problem with their post, it was the suppressive dismissal of protestors, so you pointing out my hypocrisy of also being a meanypants doesn't really bother me. The planet is dying, they're mad that people are mad, and you're mad I didn't say "that's a ridiculous position" in a nice enough way? K.
Did you even read my comment to DogMuffins post? https://lemmy.world/comment/4341772
No not at all, I am mad (depressed would be more precise) about climate change as well and I do agree with you, except for the small offensive part at the end. I think I communicated that pretty clearly and you somehow misunderstood. You should calm down a little, I am not your enemy. I understand how angry you are because I was extremely angry too until being depressed about it became dominant. I just think that the tone people use on lemmy matters and I don´t like the toxic reddit style tone I am seeing here, that´s all.
I'm sorry you're feeling depressed, really. It can be depressing, what's happening globaly. Your feelings are valid considering the circumstances, but I'm sorry they're causing you pain. I hope you feel a sense of peace and renew your fighting spirit for Earth. I didn't mean to mischaracterise which negative emotion you felt about the tone of my post, I should have been less specific when I said "mad". Sorry for that.
I do agree that tone is important, and my tone could have been better, you're right. In fact, I've been warned I violated rule 2 in private by a mod. I've promised to try to do better. Hopefully this comment has kept to that promise but I'll abide by whatever the mods decide.
Tone is important, but content of the message is, in my opinion, more important than the tone. I don't think you're my enemy, I just think you're letting the decor distract from the architecture and engineering.
I´m happy we manged to turn this around. I wish you all the best!
