I don’t know if you meant it like that, but this comment reads to me as very sarcastic towards someone who obviously just misunderstood you :/
Edit: especially as your original comment was clear and I don’t think anyone would read this thread and come out with the implied false beliefs about you.
Thanks, appreciate the feedback. I didn’t mean my comment as sarcastic and have retracted the comment. I had an even less charitable comment prepared but realized that “non-native speaker misunderstood what I said” is also a pretty plausible explanation given the international nature of this forum.
I might’ve been overly sensitive here, because the degree of misunderstanding and the sensitive nature of the topic feels reminiscent of patterns I’ve observed before on other platforms. This is one of the reasons why I no longer have a public Twitter.
I was also surprised by your somewhat strong reaction. To me it seems reasonable to assume that the other reader just missed the “not” in your comment, or accidentally misread it, whether they are a native speaker or not
