A single person’s actions should be able to be called “suspicious” and not automatically go down some crazy conspiracy theory rabbit hole. That’s what I mean by wild extrapolation by commenters here, it’s literally the behavior of the far right.

should be able to be called “suspicious”

Its easy to say everyone misunderstood me, but you should look at the common factor in each of those misunderstandings. You can think you communicated perfectly, but if the net effect is so many people didn't understand you, then perhaps it's time to consider more precise word choice instead of vague thinks like "suspicious".

The common factor is that everyone wanted to score easy internet points by painting my original comment as something it was not.

🙄

"Everyone but me was wrong."

Yep, classic groupthink.

Or... classic arrogance. Everyone else can mishear but impossible for you to misspeak?

You sound like a teenager.

I made myself very clear in responses to the original comment what I meant. If people chose not to read those responses, that’s on them. And yeah sure: continue name calling, just like the other commenters here.

Come back to this thread in a month and re-read. You were vague on top of vague.
