Why rude?

0 comments

The comment it's replying to stated that 1937 quote as if they had checked it. That deception seems ruder to me the language in the comment you're talking about. But I do agree the last sentence could've been omitted while getting the core point across (but we're all only human).

I did.

The version you posted is a 2016 reprint, I’m unsure which is correct.

Fair enough! (BTW I didn't post any version but your point stands.)

Also worth pointing out that I didn’t find the original correction rude unless there was an earlier version of the comment I didn’t see ;)

Not rude, just direct.

Nope, it’s rude and abrasive

Agree that the post comes across as rude in tone, but it’s never explicitly disparaging. Might just be an overly direct tone (non-native English speaker, or maybe on the spectrum?)

Nah just sounds like people can't handle what they say being questioned as per usual. We should never take offense to being asked to clarify or explain when someone thinks we're wrong.

I'd only be vaguely offended if they had no grounded reason to think that I'm wrong (and they'd be calling me out for the sake of calling me out).

Communicating ideas is a part of tribalism too. Good brain chemicals when the tribe agrees and bad brain chemicals when they disagree.

Yeah, my bad, after re-reading the original post. It was not particularly rude.

Apologies.

Heya, I don't often come back and reply to people but I genuinely have to say I look up to your ability to change your mind, admit you were wrong and come out smiling.

We should all be more like you! <3
