    Sure, but we’re talking plurals of strangers atm. “Please don’t call me a guy going forward” is a different conversation than “what you just said is stupid, mean, and wrong”.

        No it really isn’t. One clearly and directly communicates a need. The other response shies away from that and insults without explaining why.

          Drag… Supposes, that’s how it would look without applying much empathy. But if someone gets called something and says it’s bad, it must be clear they don’t like it. If they’re angry, that’s a kind of upset. It means they could be hurting. Drag would understand no matter how someone phrased it.

      Your facts are not what OP wrote, though. And in this context the facts are relevant, which is the point.

      Bad red herring.

        We don’t know what happened. What makes you think that what op wrote isn’t the facts. I can totally see something like that happening it’s not at all unbelievable.
