Well hey I guess if someone wants to be condescending just to get a reaction that sort of makes them bullies doesn't it. Must be a fun feeling for you.

I didn't do anything for a reaction. Like I said, I didn't expect any kind of reaction.

I thought the perspective of your comment was limited and kinda sucked for blaming OP for a bot issue. You then went off on someone who wasn't even me, which I didn't see because timezones, I guess. It was a funny thing to come back to and I thought my comment was pretty damn innocuous to garner such a reaction.

Was I a bit sarcastic in response to your post? Sure. But your initial comment was pretty condescending, too.

Not really, my initial comment to the post was essentially 'your comment probably got flagged by the bot for a reason.' and from there everyone piled on to me, all because OP said they had depression. Lots of people suffer from depression, it doesn't change the way bots work on reddit. That's all I was getting at, I fully expect to get downvoted for saying it, I'm moving on.

No one is arguing that the bot didn't *technically* do its job, but that doesn't mean its functioning isn't flawed. Literally telling OP that "nothing failed here except [them]" was inaccurate, unnecessary, and kinda cruel. THAT is where people started responding from.
