      In my opinion, he only seems to be respectful. It’s not sealioning, but it’s something akin to that. Maybe there’s a term for it, I don’t know.

        (She) Um. No, I’m actually being polite because I’m a polite person. It’s not a conspiracy, and it is again genuinely worrying that you can’t accept someone politely disagreeing with you, instead assuming that they have to be doing it manipulatively.

          A polite person would have just moved along instead of picking a flight over a perceived slight that doesn’t even exist given the context of the joke.

            “If you were really polite, you’d have meekly let me insult you” No, uh… no I don’t think that’s how this works.

              You might want to remind yourself who responded to whom’s comment with a little insult first and reevaluate.

                Your initial joke was somewhat rude, which I pointed out. You have then gone on to spend a couple hours fairly viciously insulting me, lambasting my character, pulling a “fake-geek-girl-esque” purity test and framing my motivations as intentionally manipulative, all because I called your joke…
                er…
                “lame”.

                How your ego will ever recover from such a crushing slight, we will perhaps never know.

                  And how could you ever live with yourself if you didn’t point it out and give yourself an opportunity to whine?

                  And there was no purity test, just a possible explanation that didn’t involve you being insufferable, but you successfully put that to rest.

                    Again, I called your joke “lame”.

                    In response, you’ve spent hours viciously insulting me while trying to turn it around so that you were the aggrieved party. Even if I were just whining, which I wasn’t even doing, your response has been wildly disproportionate to the slight you’re attempting to manufacture.
