It's the weirdest things that set people off. · 2:21pm Jul 9th, 2017
I gotta vent right now, someone's pissed me off pretty bad.
So, it started with a forum post. Someone was making absurd blanket statements. Saying that this subject that he knows so much about is always like this, and if you try to say that it's not always like that, then you're wrong.
I replied to him, saying that he was wrong. It's not always the case. He asked me to clarify, and I replied with a half-assed hypothetical. Just a "what if" scenario to point out that there are cases where his assumptions about the subject are wrong.
He took it way to seriously. He proceeded to make a long-winded smackdown, (even going so far as to say I "asked for it") wherein he underlined all the ways my hypothetical was "invalid". Most of which didn't even land, as most of his arguments were in reply to assumptions he had made about it to make up for how barebones it was.
He then sends me a PM, sardonically saying that he'd love for me to actually try to support my claims, and demands an apology for "insulting" him.
That's the part that pissed me off. Up to that point, I'd been fairly amused by the business. Thing is, I didn't even insult him. Closest I came to it was insinuating that he didn't understand the subject as well as he thought he did. I admit that I was kind of a smarmy ass, but so was he. I respond to condescension in kind.
So I tell him he must be really cocky to demand something like that so upfront. He says, "No, I'm just civil," and blocks me. (At least, I assume he blocked me; I can't reply to his PM, or send PMs of my own.)
Right, that's why he was such a condescending prick. That's why he sent a PM where nobody else could see him demanding apologies for imagined insults like a petulant child. That's why he blocked me for not bowing to his majestically superior knowledge, and catering to his temper tantrum. It wasn't because he took something way too seriously, it's because he's civil.
What a titanic ass.
*snickers* a titanic ass indeed
Damn, what an ass indeed.
I mean, it could have been a troll, but they rarely blocks you immediately.
He must have some balls of steel though, to ask you to apologise to him and then block you.
