I was clearly trolling you with the “chopsicks comment” comment. YOU ARE SO DUMB.

...Says the person who started off with “Holy shit, go fuck yourself”.

I made no such implications, and she did quite literally use the death of her grandmother for Internet points. She even apologized for doing so afterwards.

Oh, so it’s perfectly ok for you to completely misrepresent someone’s entire point, and then ridicule them for what you falsely claim their point to be? My point and comments have had absolutely nothing to do with appropriation or chopsticks (in and of themselves), and if you can’t see that you’re either the dumbest…

...you mean her comment about Japanese people...? When did I ever say I was offended?

...and her comment was about Japanese people, not chopsticks.

Your comment is nonsensical and rude.

Where have I made comments implicating anyone’s inability to comprehend general social interactions?

(With all true sincerity)

I have expressed sincere sentiment for your loss. But you know you took a cheap shot - yes, I am sorry for that immediate response, but what you said to me is something I would never say to anyone, ever, who had no idea that a loved one of mine had died.

I’m sorry, but how did you expect me to know that your grandmother died, and how can you think it’s fair to use that as leverage to make a point?

Look, I am very sorry to hear that your grandmother died. Sincerely. But that was a cheap shot, and you know it.

Right - I was 100% aware of the fact that your grandmother died today. Great way to respect your grandmother by exploiting her death to make a (pointless) point on the internet. Go you.

As already explained, I only dismissed you in response to your dismissing me and ridiculing me and my relationship with my with my wife to another commenter. Again; tit for tat.

Thanks for the polite reply. That is a lot of interesting information! But I think you are going way beyond my specific point (not a criticism, just clarification - what you wrote is very interesting, but my point is simply about the specific wording of one particular passage).

Excuse me, but when have I ever claimed to be an “expert” in my wife’s culture? And when have I “loudly spoken for (her) and her family”...? Repeating the exact sentiments they themselves have expressed is not “speaking for them” or “putting words in their mouth” as you have also accused me of doing - as I have not…

Yeah, well I noticed that some of my replies to you had been dismissed, and went back to dismiss some of yours in return - so you can congratulate yourself there.

Yes, you most certainly did dismiss my replies pointing out your false accusations of me putting words in other peoples’ mouths. And don’t be fooled that your stupid replies to me weren’t dismissed as well.

Dude. Come ON. I never said they cared one way or the other.

Just to clarify; is this snark or agreement?
