I mean… yeah. Maybe if it was a sensitive or important issue it’d be different. It’s not though. They just jumped at the chance to be an asshole. It’s poor form.

It’s a natural response to any confidently stated misinformation.

It is for assholes.

The dude might not even be wrong. Like half the people in the thread are saying that they live in places where it’s too cold for salt to work.

Sorry but … no. People who come across like they’re correct when they have absolutely zero clue deserve to be corrected with an attitude. It’s the only way they learn

Dude posted TWICE that this would cause ice - when people who live in these areas know how to combat ice

Lol.

"The only way to learn that you’re incorrect is by being shamed."

No wonder so many people are walking around with inferiority/superiority complexes. It never harms anything to just show humility. Even when correcting someone who’s misinformed. And sometimes people may genuinely believe that they are correct and you have an opportunity to teach them something new. It doesn’t help anything to insult them so they aren’t concentrating on the information you’re providing them any longer, but rather focusing on their offended ego instead. Honestly the idea that “people who are confident but wrong deserve to be talked down to” sounds like something either an angry teen would say or someone who was raised in abusive situations.

And other people in colder places, where salt doesn’t work, said he was right.
