    You know if you don’t think a comment adds to the discussion there’s a purpose built button for you to express that exact sentiment? It’s right below the one you pointed out in your very helpful diagram.

      you’re adorable, but i think we can all agree that making an effort to help other users contribute positively to the platform is itself a positive contribution.

        I really hope you’re not suggesting that you honestly think someone didn’t know about the upvote button? What a silly thing to imply that your sarcastic comment was supposed to be in some way actually helpful to someone.

          i like to give people the benefit of the doubt.

          i understand that you don’t appreciate my tone but i’m afraid i won’t be able to kneecap my natural charm in order to be less intimidating to you.

            It’s not that I don’t like your tone, I’m always down for a sarcastic quip. What I don’t like is dishonest people. You must think we’re all incredibly stupid if you expect anyone to believe your intent was to help by pointing out the upvote button.

            I do admire your confidence, however misplaced, and your commitment to embodying your username though.

              not everyone, no, but the 10th guy in a row to talk down to me and expect to make a point? i might not think so highly of him.

              I’m always down for a sarcastic quip

              you took my (hilarious) joke at face value and made a serious effort to admonish me for that literal interpretation and not the blatantly obvious message that when you have nothing to say, it’s ok to say nothing.

              that you’re continuing to reply at all suggests that your sarcasm detector could really use routine maintenance. or a warranty replacement.

              would a ‘/s’ make things easier for you?

                I’m not expecting to make any kind of point, I’m just giving you a well deserved ribbing for being an asshole. It’s strictly for entertainment purposes.

                If you think the only explanation for someone taking issue with you is they are stupid or don’t understand sarcasm, I really don’t know what to tell you.

                As I said before, I admire your confidence even if it is sorely misplaced. If you don’t want to listen to me though there’s this neat button right under my comment there that says ‘block user’ if you don’t wish to read my replies. Just trying to be helpful, of course!

                  you’re so close, if only you’d uncross your eyes it might come a little clearer into focus

                  If you don’t want to listen to me

                  what part of replying to everybody who wants a piece of me suggests that i’m participating under duress? lol

                    Lol indeed. Well this has been fun, you have a particularly delicious lack of self awareness that I always appreciate in these sorts of discussions so I look forward to seeing your next very helpful and clever contribution in future threads.

                    Have fun!
