i didn't mean offense, though, which is why i used it. just because you're pointing out something that somebody may not like to hear doesn't mean you actually want to offend them. it's an anon trend here, cursing at people, and i just want this view represented.

so my point is, you could tell he was pissed with everything he wrote, anyway. it's just unnecessary to add a 'fuck you', or any other meaningless slight, and in almost all cases, it makes you look like you can't control yourself and because of that people may be inclined to take your words and emotions less seriously. and when you're upset, that's the last thing that you want to happen.

I totally agree with you. I was down with the comment until the "fuck you" and now just am like "whatever." Push a button, get a "fuck you."

I'm not a huge fan of cursing, I don't do it much and I don't write it much. And I tend to find it off-putting in a lot of situations. But, honestly, I completely understand it in this context. It's supposed to convey strong feelings and it does - that's what it's for. Telling someone to watch their language when their really hurt and offended just seems sort of condescending - like, yeah, you can be mad, but only the way I say you can be mad.

I feel like you just didn't want to hear his comment so you found a convenient way to dismiss him. Content > tone every single time and I think it's pretty immature not to get that.

I agree with you to an extent; for example, I've often seen people dismiss individuals as being stupid or their points as being not worth reading just because they were writing without using grammar, or caps lock, etc., which is a stupid idea; on the other hand, if it gets to the point where you are insulting the other person, then I don't feel like you probably wanted a serious discussion in the first place.

In this case, OP said something that could easily offend a lot of people, and it's not like anon was responding to a rational argument with a "FUCK YOU, YOU PIECE OF SHIT" or anything like that, ffs.

I think you're agreeing with me? I'm speaking of a specific comment in which someone clearly had something to say with content and not a generic slur or insult. The vulgar language seemed to be employed to communicate the emotion felt and make a point that wouldn't have quite the impact worded differently.

Indeed! I am agreeing with you.
