so you're saying i should have anticipated that people might have willingly misinterpreted "that is a stupid position to take and here is why" as "you as a person are stupid" and, instead of telling me why they thought I was wrong, try to get me banned from beehaw as a result?

i would've been okay if you'd just said yes and left it at that. but the "actually, you are calling me stupid" really rubs my fur backwards

I’m saying that if you think you said “that is a stupid position to take and here is why,” you missed the mark severely, and you should be more careful with your phrasing if you don’t want people to get upset at you in future. It’s not about people “willingly” misinterpreting anything — whether you realized it or not, what you said wasn’t the level-headed response you may have intended it to be.
