You can sit around and be a pretentious dick all you want, or you can take this as an opportunity to welcome people to something that you enjoy. Clearly you’ve already decided to do the former.
And you of course took the opportunity not to practice as you preach but to make yourself feel superior to both.
They already made up their mind that they don’t like NaNoWriMo and it’s not my responsibility nor my prerogative to try to control other people’s feelings about it. If they don’t like it, I’ll just dismiss them, as I have, and be done with it. If they do, I’ll talk about it with them.
That was my one and only intention when making this thread. I do that because I respect the agency (I like to assume) other people have. You really need to learn to do the same.
That is the most pretentious way of saying “nuh-uh” I’ve read today. Feel free to continue your string of pseudo-intellectual, self-aggrandizing bullshit, but don’t expect me to clap for you.
Well, you can sit there and whine, complain and be a dick all you want to, or you can take this as an opportunity to educate other people toward your way of thinking. Clearly you’ve already decided to do the former.
On the off chance that you’re actually open to hearing any kind of criticism, sure:
You made a post on a small forum about an objectively obscure topic, seemingly with the expectation that people would understand an acronym for that obscure topic.
Numerous comments essentially asked “what the fuck does that even mean?”
When faced with an opportunity to introduce more people to this obscure topic with some modicum of grace, you instead made what appeared to be a sarcastic, disparaging comment that people should obviously just know what you’re talking about.
When called out for #3, you decided that everyone in this thread clearly hated the obscure topic that none of them had even heard of, rather than realizing that people reacted poorly to your poorly disguised arrogance and pretentious comments.
Okay, let me spell this out to you like you are a 4-year-old:
I made a Lemmy post asking what people are going to do for NaNoWriMo.
The post was treated derisively as most people already know what it is and don’t like it, and the rest genuinely didn’t know what it is.
Other people in the thread corrected them.
One person decided to catch attitude with me about it and I promptly told them where to stuff it.
You didn’t like that and started arguing with me.
.
And you’re doing this because you think I’m upset other people don’t like NaNoWriMo or me, and you don’t understand I don’t care if they do or not.
They have the right to like or hate whatever the fuck they want. I can’t make people like NaNoWriMo and I don’t want to make people like something I like. That’s their prerogative. As a fellow human being who shares this Earth with 8 billion other motherfuckers, I’m fine with that.
What I’m not fine with is the notion that I have to be a doormat and let people walk all over me to appease your sensibilities, because you misunderstand the point of the thread.
This thread is not for converting people to the ways of NaNoWriMo. I specifically was looking for other people who already know about it and were going to participate.
I really, really don’t know how to make this clearer to you than it already is. It’s on you if you refuse to listen and it’s pretty apparent that refusing to listen is something that you’re good at.
Sure lil buddy, whatever you say. Have fun being an overly verbose, abrasive dickwad and thinking that it somehow makes you an intellectual, that’ll show people not to “catch attitude with you.”
And you can be an oversensitive, overbearing, overly offended concern troll with nothing better to do with your life than get mad at someone because you misinterpreted a situation and are too arrogant to admit you were wrong, but it won’t make you sound any less dumb.
That’ll sure show me not to assert myself when someone is being toxic in my own thread for no reason. 🙄
Oh how adorable, you followed me all the way here from a whole separate post just to cause trouble. And you even came up with an excuse to give you plausible deniability a whole half-hour after you first chimed in when you found other people who are purposefully derailing the thread because they have an axe to grind, and joined in.
I’m… actually quite touched. I didn’t know I had fans.
Right? This dude can’t comprehend that he’s the problem here, not a writing challenge/competition. Reminds me of a saying “If it smells like shit everywhere you go, check your shoe”
