    For some reason you’re the second person to misconstrue my statement as “seeking special treatment.” That’s not what I said. You’re arguing against a fictional person.

      Maybe it was unintentional, but there was a condescending and belittling tone to the phrasing you chose. You don’t get to hide behind the literal wording of your statement when there was condescension within your phrasing.

        Being accused of making a mistake absolutely can be seen as belittling. That doesn’t mean it’s not a logical statement with weight to it.

          You literally said:

          Maybe in your desire to feel special

          That is condescending.

            It was very accurate and I stand by it. Everybody wants to see themselves as an individual and not a part of the crowd, that applies to every living person on earth.

              It seems to me that you are approaching this complex topic from an oversimplified view. Human behaviour isn’t as simple as you put it.

          Who are you even putting on this performance for? We all read your comment. You’re condescending, judgemental and not at all subtle.
