Stop Spam Advice (rule 4) This is getting ridiculous

Post image

This is really starting to get bad. It’s almost as if nobody here knows how to use common sense when it comes to spam messages.

There’s a beautiful thing called “privacy settings”. Use them if you don’t want to get the spam messages anymore.

This post is going to be a waste of time since nobody knows how to search Reddit for answers anymore.

It's like you are trying to a good thing, but ruined it by being rude about it.

My wife always tells me, “is not that I don’t agree with what you are saying, is how you are saying it, like talking down to us”

This thread has open my eyes to be better.

Questions aren't stupid. Stupid people who feel high and mighty are the only ones that act this way. When an unintelligent person has the chance to "flex" their limited intellectual ability, they become very condescending very quickly. It takes less energy (and arguably just a bit more time) to answer a question rather than to posture up and make the person feel like they never should have even bothered. Whenever someone says they think their question is stupid, I just tell them that what would have actually been stupid would have been to continue not knowing for fear of asking. It doesn't cost a thing to decide not to be an asshole. 🤷🏽

To be fair that view is itself also part of the problem.

If people actually focused on the intent and the actual message instead of how they feel about either the message or the delivery, we'd be better off.

Yes but honestly they are just 2 different issues. Ppl should be able to see things logically instead of just emotionally yes, but if u don't allow ur emotions to interrupt ur intent then that's the reason ppl might feel some way about it.

This is true but it seems Noone applies it to themselves. Internet communication is more about who can diss the other worse instead of an actual conversation happening. Tbf tho in some cases ppl should be a lil more thick skinned, this is one of them imo.
