Thank you! I needed to hear that because I was beginning to wonder if I was the one in the wrong and just that clueless about it. Your rather succinct summary helped put this into perspective.
I do wonder what you think “the right phrasing” to use might have been to avoid all this drama. As on edge as the entire country seems to have become, I honestly can’t think of a way to say what I did without offending somebody - which is why I led off with “I know I’m gonna get shit for this…” I so miss the days decades ago when we at least would pretend to debate in a civil manner.
When it comes to dbzer0 users, unless you make it blatantly clear that you’re a militant anti-capitalist “anarchist” then they will jump to some ridiculous conclusion that you are somehow a “capitalist bootlicker.”
There’s no need to worry about what specific phrasing to appease them. They seem to actively look for ways to interpret you in a way that makes you an enemy somehow.
Always remember, you better filesystem check yourself before you filesystem wreck yourself.
Yeah, the extreme tribalism in this country has gotten so effing tiring to deal with. Each group attacks others using the exact same methods they’re complaining about the others using, and it’s absurd just how cluelessly self-unaware they all are. In the end they’ve all just become bullies, and if their vote didn’t count just as much as mine then I’d be inclined to just leave them to their immature foolishness. Since their votes do matter, I feel like I need to point out the realistic & pragmatic POV whenever I can in hopes of at least keeping them from convincing others to join their tribe.

LOVE the username, BTW.
