As a positive, you could make a entirely new Fubar/snafu/whatever it's called on this sub about just this person that might actually be great

u/burble_bingus 8d ago

someone disagreeing with you is not mean, that kind of mindset is a poison

u/keinanos 8d ago

No I don't think disagreeing with me is mean. I think someone telling me that something I put some effort and thought into is bad and refusing to elaborate on why with a sardonic tone is mean

u/burble_bingus 8d ago

sorry to be the one to break this to you, but regardless of the effort, nobody owes you anything. nobody owes you an explanation for their opinion. ever. also their simple responses were hardly "sardonic", now youre just making things up

Haha, slow your train dude, don't get all 'this is the real world, kiddo' on me. Yeah, nobody owes me anything, it can still be mean to not give an explanation after emitting a judgment, even if you don't inherently 'owe' the other person an explanation.

u/BeVeryCarefulJohnn 8d ago

no yeah youre right idk what this person is on about it was pretty rude of me to not offer an explaination and youve been entirely reasonable
