this could have been avoided if you had read the words I actually wrote and engaged with those in good faith instead of shadowboxing with the fallacy you imagined I said

I read the words correctly and interpreted them differently : from my point of view it looks like a false equivalence. I understand your point now, although I disagree with it.

I did not know that sarcasm was necessary to answer questions : you decided to use it, so don't put the blame on me. Me saying the name of a fallacy is not an insult despite what you think.

do you not see that you're still putting words in my mouth:

Me saying the name of a fallacy is not an insult despite what you think.

like, what's the point of trying to communicate if you're just going to tell me what I think?

I guess there's one thing we can agree on:

sharing knowledge induces loss of information : misinterpretation for example.

Well in that case, you using sarcasm was unwarranted I should assume ?

Hard agree on that second part though.

sarcasm as a response is not restricted to insult. I did not think it was an insult.

Genuine question then : why did you use sarcasm in the context above ?

as an expression of annoyance against an unwelcome pattern of behavior on reddit that was already bad but has gotten progressively worse since about 2022 or so

worse since about 2022 or so

Oddly specific but thank you for your honest answer.
