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.

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.

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.
