@childrenofursus—
Saying “fuck the author” is universally rude and uncalled.
No. Either you're oblivious to common rhetorical forms, or you're
posturing.
there’s no way you can explain it as anything other than raging, entitled assholes on the internet saying dumb shit.
Let's have a simple bet: If I fail to explain it differently, then I get off the Internet and stay off, for good. But, if I do explain it differently, then you get off the Internet and stay off, for good. Is it a bet?
You can italicize random shit in your comment
I suppose that I
could, but I
don't. If the point is so
hard for someone that,
even with freakin' italics, he or she can't get it and thinks that the italics are
random, then that person is in sad shape.
now you’re trying to act all wise and “teach someone a lesson“
No, I'm not. I told someone else that he or she needed to learn more. I didn't offer to teach, and I certainly didn't offer to teach for free.
It’s not hard to be constructive,
Unfortunately, it's also not hard for you to spread further misunderstanding.
