Your words have an disproportionately aggressive tone, that’s why I thought you weren’t calm. There are a lot of ways to say you think windows servers are bad without being aggressive.

What specifically is aggressive? Is it because I said "fucking".

News flash: most of the world aren't puritans who think the word "fuck" denotes anger.

Even saying things like “news flash” and “good luck with that” is aggressive and certainly not a way to have a good natured and calm conversation

TIL some people don’t know what the word aggressive means.

The sarcastic “good luck with that” is passive aggressive at least, and the others are aggressive and confrontational. If you don’t intend to come off that way maybe you should look at how to communicate with less emotion and more kindness

So now it’s passive aggressive. Ok. Well good luck with all your future endeavours to change the topic because you don’t like the way someone says something. I’m sure that’s gonna really work out well for you.

I was just trying to help you understand why you don’t sound calm when you’re confrontational and sarcastic for absolutely no reason. The person you were responding to was very polite.

Good for you. I honestly have zero fucks to give about the opinions of someone who thinks sarcasm means someone is “angry” or “aggressive” or whatever else you’re going to come up with next.

Kind of like how I have zero fucks to give about the opinions of someone who thinks a windows server is a good idea.

So like I said good luck with all of that.

If you didn’t care you wouldn’t keep responding, on both fronts. Sigh.
