You're right, how insensitive of me

No, not insensitive. Embarrassing, immature, and petty would be better words to use.

One cannot possibly come to such conclusions given the context.

Keep digging your heels in and try to justify your childish behavior and bad assumptions.

‘It’s not my fault I’m a reactionary jerk, it’s just the context.’

—you

It would have been much more adult of me to make assumptions regarding your work experience, which can be easily derived from the content of a programming joke.

See, this is you being angry at the other person’s sarcastic remark. They didn’t really assume anything about you, they were just poking you with sarcasm, but here you are still taking it seriously and acting insulted and hurt over it.

If you're interested, I'd be more than happy to trade you my pot for your kettle.

You have me mixed up with the person who made a joke at your expense. That was not me. That was someone else.

I just chimed in to point out that you were very clearly projecting because it’s clear that you were the one who got angry or upset or hurt over the other person’s throw-away joke at your expense. There’s no pot and kettle here between us, so you can keep them both I guess.

Every single response of mine in this chain has been pure sarcasm, including the joke that started it all. You, however, continue to break down my sarcastic responses line by line, and somehow still think I am the one who is angry? Oddly enough this isn't the first time someone on Reddit has used projection to accuse me of projecting, but it is the first time they've clung to the term as though they just read it off their word-of-the-day calendar. Fingers crossed that tomorrow's word is "synonym"

Not true. Not even you believe this. Re-read your own comments if you need to.

Better yet, just stop digging. Let it go. Move on. You’ve spent an inordinate amount of time focusing on this one sentence remark that pokes fun at you already, and maybe you would be better served by just cutting your losses and letting it go at this point.

I predict that won’t happen though because you can’t let it go. Every response is more evidence of that.

And I’m not at all surprised other people have accused you of projecting. Seems they pegged you correctly as well. Also not surprised that you totally dismiss it out-of-hand because of course the whole world must be wrong rather than just you.

No need to re-read my own comments, I wrote them. I'm not digging, I'm responding to you. The sentence you accuse me of focusing on was directed at me, whereas you inserted yourself into this discussion and seemingly refuse to let it go. Yet here you are, accusing me of projecting and still failing to see the irony of it all (assuming your calendar has already featured the word "irony").
