I think the issue here is you didn’t actually voice any of your concerns until much later in the conversation. The equivalent of “Lol Biden bad” isn’t very helpful or bound to be well received unless either the content being commented informs the statement or you care to explain yourself.
i think the issue is the personal attacks that persist against anyone who dares challenge the orthodoxy. i think a civil discussion could have been had, with no need for name-calling, or poisoning the well about the age of my account or teh topics that interest me.
That’s understandable, I agree with your point. We DO get a ton of trolls on new accounts fomenting trouble for kicks, but people ought to hold themselves to a higher standard and at least wait for trolls to prove themselves to be trolls instead of acting on assumptions.
calling me names doesn’t change whether my concerns are legitimate
