Or maybe they say it because the thing they are allowed to do is a normal thing and the person complaining needs to grow up and learn to deal with the world and the people in it, who are not required to coddle them.

Translation: I want to be an asshole and I'm going to whinge at anyone pointing out my assholish behaviour.

See previous comment. Work on that. The world isn't going to change for you, sweetie.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-03 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, you're seriously butthurt that people are calling you out for being an asshole aren't you.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-03 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not butthurt, and I'm also not an asshole. You'd think that you insulting me and trying to put words in my mouth would make me cry so many tears, but it's not. I just find you tedious at this point.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-03 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, you sound butthurt.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-03 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Pot, kettle. I'm bored now.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-03 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
But they called the poster "sweetie!" Thus they totally obliterated his/her point!

Don't you know you're automatically right if you call someone a pet name condescendingly?

Regardless of whether it's normal, there's no need to bring up the fact that you're allowed to do it unless someone is saying you aren't.

If what you mean is "this is a normal thing to do" then SAY "this is a normal thing to do" not "I'm allowed to do X." The latter comment has nothing to do with anything unless someone actually said you aren't allowed to do something.

Anyway, if you feel like someone complaining about something is an attempt at forbidding you from doing something, then maybe you need to grow up and address or respond to people's complaints instead of hiding behind a pretense that the complainer is trying to censor you. In other words, deal with the fact that people disagree with you and that it is normal for them to express that disagreement.

You understood the point, did you not? Then don't be a fucking pedantic asshole about how people word things. Problem solved.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-03 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
It's not being pedantic to point out that words have meanings. If you say "I'm allowed to do X" how the hell is anyone supposed to know what you really mean is "doing X is normal?"

This is another things that's become normal that I hate. People saying any old crap and insisting that it means something other than what it usually means. And expecting everyone to know what they mean despite that.

It's not being pedantic to point out that words have meanings.

It literally is, though.

So the meaning of words is a minor detail (assuming that's the definition you were going for)?

In other words, it's TOTALLY OBVIOUS what you meant, even though you said something different?

Sorry, but getting annoyed at someone for saying one thing when they meant something else isn't pedantry. It's normal.

In the last two days I've seen a ton of anons with this attitude and it's really infuriating.
