Frankly, I asked for clarification.

And if you bothered to read my reply to them before you rudely interjected, you would see that I shared that experience and consoled them over it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31434328

Touch grass.


That's really not consoling, that's just telling them it's lucky they didn't get punished harder.


Text lacks tone. I'd buy the dude a beer. I'm very much a "it can always be worse" kind of guy. Being able to relate is human quality numero uno.

Jumping down the throats of others is a negative trait, but I'm not going to call you names or tell you how to be because I'm not a control freak.


I appreciate you not calling me names. I feel blessed.


I'd buy you a cold one, mate. It was a well-intentioned comment, and I'm sure yours was well-intentioned too.

I posted this earlier today too around the same time: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-5-0-fairemail-fully-f...

Believe me when I say that I wasn't "sealioning". I hadn't even heard of the word until today, which tells me you're either younger than I am, know the word, and look for opportunities to use it, or you're overly emotionally invested in what others have to say (hence the "touch grass"), or maybe you genuinely believed that to be the case.

FWIW, I hope your day turns out good too (saw the comment before the edit). I don't go looking for confrontations, far from it. I'm sure we'd get along, after all, we're on the same site looking at the same content.

Stay healthy and happy.


Hammy, I said nothing about you sealioning. I think you're getting yourself confused and overwrought.


Yeah, you're right, I'm confused between users. I don't do well in warm weather, sorry mate.
