Are you observing me repeatedly trying to move on? Saying, yeah my main disagreement was with the mod in question, all good.

IDK, maybe you're trying to correct the record on why you wrote the initial statement, in which case fine.

You were "moving on" while simultaneously basically calling me a liar for no reason, and pretending it was a joke...

Literally all I meant by putting "misspoke" in quotes was, as a general rule I think that term is bullshit. It's this kind of Kellyanne Conway thing "let's not examine in detail whether I was mistaken, or lied on purpose, or I fumbled words and didn't mean to say what I said, the important thing is it doesn't count, let's not examine which of those it was..."

I get where it came across as me being rude and sarcastic and I apologize. I walked it back as a joke right after because you actually didn't do any of that -- like I said, I thought what you did was fine and I was just giving you some grief over using the word. And the truth is yeah I have no idea if you really were mistaken or just made some epic typo or something, so maybe I should take your word for it if you really are swearing up and down that you knew the truth and just typed it out the way you typed it for an accidental reason.

I think you're taking this as like a personal thing directed solely at you. It's not. It's just people talking on the internet which sad to say is not always polite. But yeah since I was directing some offensive things at you I apologize about that.

I hear you and totally get that this was a conversation and series of misunderstandings that could really only have happened online ...thanks for the apology.

All good

We're all a bunch of internet weirdos who take things too seriously

Maybe it's just me
