Right, this I-can-do-no-wrong attitude is getting tiresome. You keep throwing this shit at me that I’m getting defensive but it’s more than obvious you’re deflecting. I couldn’t give less of a mild shit about your correction. The problem is the way you approach people, the way you twist events so that anyone disagreeing with what you’re saying systematically means they feel bad about themselves like they’re a lesser being. The problem is you.
Let me highlight the problem area:
“But it looks exactly like an Arctic Fox”
Something doesn’t look “exactly like” something they’re unfamiliar with, yet you took it upon yourself to talk down to someone.
“Yeah man, my bad. Didn’t mean to sound judgemental.” I never said you were being judgmental at this point which means this was your own conclusion from a re-read of your comment after my response.
“it’s okay to not know stuff. Lack of knowledge does not make you stupid. However, getting defensive because someone knew something you didn’t, definitely does.” Then you rethought it. You chose to try throw the whole thing in my face and doubled down on the judgment with a hearty side dose of patronization and make it out to be just me who has misinterpreted your initial message to be judgmental despite having acknowledged it coming across as that way yourself.
If you had left that first sentence out of your initial message, I would have noticed my fuck up and simply responded “Oh shit, I screwed up my message. I know animals can be friendly. I’ll go fix my message. Thanks for pointing it out” and we’d both have gone on with our days. But you just had to start it by being a know-it-all dick. My mistake was a simple blunder which I have acknowledged but you just keep finding ways to manipulate this response thread to make me out as this toddler throwing a tantrum for having been wrong. It doesn’t get any simpler; the problem is you, not the correction, Y-O-U.
Now, I’m done spelling simple shit out to you. The userbase of Lemmy is still on the small side and I like to think that one day I’ll come across a comment from you that I’ll enjoy but one more of your manipulative attempts to twist my reaction and I’ll happily block your ass.
My initial apology was only after reading your response. Your reaction to my correction is what made me think I sounded judgemental. It was mainly asking me if it was “okay” that you’ve never seen an Arctic Fox, which of course it is, but your comment before that literally implied you had seen them. Whether you had or not that is what it implied. Then I re read what I actually said and realized you’re just a sensitive asshole.
