Mine is the grammar nazi/the person who treats (what are imo) casual online discussions like dissertations.

I know how to write and make convincing points but I’m not gonna sweat that the point I made was a bit broad or that I didn’t capitalize the right thing.

Generally speaking, if you could tell what I meant and still correct or dispute my point with me, that’s my online etiquette pet peeve.

    I take solace in the fact that those weirdos are all Incel-4chan-frequenting-basement-dwellers that luckily will never grow the balls to say this hateful stuff in person.

      Some folk just need to put others down to inflate themselves and its sad. It’s ok to have some fun tho if you are coming from the right place and punching up instead of down.

        As lame as it is, before being an ML I thought I was an “enlightened liberal” and I read Marcus Aurelius. I didn’t understand that most of his shit is metaphysical and therefore has no REAL reason to it. Anyways, I think he brought up one spectacular point that I still follow to this day:People that piss you off are either A.) (more common) Purposefully trying to get a reaction from you or B.) They are simply ignorant of what reaction they think you may have, that doesn’t excuse the slight, but it puts it into perspective. With that info, the most rational thing to possibly do is to not take anything too personally, because you are either giving satisfaction and completing the task of that person or you are overreacting to someone that doesn’t know what they did and think any reaction is making a mountain of a molehill. The best thing is to keep a level head because most people won’t do that. Long comment lol sorry but basically even though he was metaphysical, he had a few good introspective points to make
