What part of anything I said seemed “weirdly defensive” to you?

I mean …sort of all of it (“Do you post the history of every news organization that lists pro-democrat articles as well?”) and the quantity as well. It’s pretty obvious you have no chill and freak out constantly in the comments. Must be exhausting.

So let me get this straight. A guy decided to post a history of the news org wrote the news article that I posted.

I told him I thought was a strange response. He replied that he felt it was a biased news source and wanted to let everyone know.

And I asked him if he did that for other articles as well. And you think me asking that is “weirdly defensive”?

Please show me one “freak out” that I have had? I reply to comments with the same tone that is offered to me. And many times, in a much nicer tone than is offered to me.

Several comments that people have said to me have been removed, while mine have not. Doesn’t sound like the freak out is on my side.

I’m not freak out at all or even upset by commenters on Lemmy. This is zero affect on my real life.

You seem to know an awful lot about my comments and my so-called “freak outs.” Maybe you are reading a bit much into it, friend.

Maybe you mistake my wordiness for freaking out. I type fast because I’m a writer. None of this takes up much of my time, nor troubles me.

Let me guess tho: I’ve been very wordy in my response to you. So this is yet another example of my “weird defensiveness” and “freaking out.” Yes?

Bwhahahahaha! Well done! Wow, you really went for it.

Or if you were being serious - what a weirdly defensive reply. But that’s par for the course isn’t?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
