For the record I was posting in support of inclusive language, but pointing out that context and convention matter.

They seem to have even scrubbed my comment from their instance, lol.

    Yeah I’d agree with that. I’ll never be rude on purpose, so if my behavior is causing you discomfort please let me know so I can fix it. But if feelings get hurt that fast, it’s not something within my realm to control (unless I want to change how I talk within my circles and with my loved ones, and random stranger doesn’t meet that bar).

      Ohh so you are not willing to accommodate needs of some random online commenter who is having an identity crisis of a comment not even directed at them.

      That’s shitlording!

        I tried typing up a response, but I feel I don’t quite grasp whay you wrote. Can you rewrite it with some additional grammatical structures to separate clauses or just change it around so I can try and understand?

        If not, i guess I didn’t meet your random internet stranger bar, but I’m hardly having a crisis so maybe it doesn’t count for you.
