Well, thanks for the apology, I actually like and enjoy your posts on here.
But, to say I was unnecessarily rude is bang out of order, I've seen you do that on another thread I am watching, in the last couple of days.
Little tip, don't unfairly attack others, and then get upset when they reply in kind.
You swore at me, you told me to 'get a fucking grip.' I think it's entirely reasonable of me, in the circumstances, to think that's rude, when I hadn't sworn at you in the first instance.
Similarly, in the other thread, the one I think you're talking about, the Trump thread, the other person swore at me, in a totally unprovoked attack, albeit I then swore back at them. And then put them on ignore.
The reason I didn't immediately swear back at you and then put you on ignore in this thread (like I did with the person on the other thread), is because I accepted responsibility for the miscommunication on my part - ie you were talking in general terms about comments people had made, and I'd replied in a similar vein - leading to your taking it personally, and I apologised for it. And also your name is more familiar to me and I don't recall us having any 'beef' and so would rather give you the benefit of the doubt, given the miscommunications.
So the two circumstances aren't the same. Other than in both cases the first person to swear wasn't me.
The other person swore at me because I'd shared a Tweet and hadn't done some Twitter thread sharing embedding somethingorotherthingymajig that I don't know how to do - completely unprovoked attack.
In this instance, you swore at me due to a miscommunication, arising from both of us calling out comments made generally in this thread.
It really isn't a case of me unfairly attacking others then getting upset when they reply in kind, as you've (mis)characterised it.
In both instances, the other poster (including you) swore at me first.
I hope this clarifies what the difference is.
ETA: And I would add and point out that when I said - "in the other thread, the one I think you're talking about, the Trump thread, the other person swore at me, in a totally unprovoked attack, albeit I then swore back at them. And then put them on ignore" - me responding badly to them was a total knee jerk reaction, I was really taken aback and upset that someone would be so hostile and swear at me for sharing a Tweet from a menswear nerd about the type and weight of fabric and cut of Trump's suits without embedding a thread reader thingy. Totally out of the blue. Totally uncalled for. I don't recall any previous 'beef' with that person and have no idea why they spoke so aggressively towards me for something so inane and inoffensive. I've no idea why they took such great exception and swore at me.
