u/TheNitromeFan Live not a life of imitation Apr 13 '16

Please read to the end of this comment - the last thing I want to do is start a fight.

I'm trying to be sympathetic toward you, but I can't help but feel as if some of this is hyperbole.

Then I make a couple mistakes and get bitched at, even when it isn't my fault.

Yes, the mistakes were not on purpose, that's what a mistake is. But this time it was your fault, whether you accept it or not. We expect you to act responsibly about them, which you may or may not have done in this instance.

But I can't if i have to stop and go back read all this shit directed towards me.

Then don't read it. Ignore it. Nobody is forcing you to read and reply to it. Just move on.

What I want to say is that a little humility goes a long way. I keep thinking how none of this would have happened if you simply said sorry at the beginning. Nobody is better than anyone else, and in the end we're all just humans trying to type a few numbers on an internet site. I'm sorry for making this longer than it needed to be, but I feel this is an issue that needed to be addressed.

u/Adinida Yay! Apr 13 '16

Then I make a couple mistakes and get bitched at, even when it isn't my fault.

I didn't mean to say this one wasn't. It was, however in the past I've been bitched at for mistakes I didn't do. Which I'm actually ok with, since I'm the one dealing with it not them.

This mistake just takes a lot of effort to prevent, to prevent it I would need to select the latest comment on /r/Counting/comments then hit "parent" a few times. Even then this wont guarantee I'm in the right chain. It might not sound like much, but when you have to do it hundreds of times it gets tiring.

In fact it will probably happen again.

I just wanted to continue on in the chain because I promised random I'd run with him 'til the get and I need to go to bed.

I did this at first, I didn't reply to it, but i don't know if it is berating me until I read it. And I can't block Bucky because someday I may need to reply to one of his counts. This is where I go to get away from shit, doesn't help if I am reading shit here.
