Like you saying you’re not acting hostile. I don’t think that’s up to you to say.
It most definitely is. People have a tendency to project emotions on to neutral text, and projecting negative emotions is much more common. There’s zero malice or hostility in my comments. I know this because I don’t feel any while writing this, so any perceived hostility is just that… a perception. A flawed perception. An understandable one for which I don’t judge anyone, but still a misperception.
how someone else interprets the way you talk
is up to them
Ofc it is. But what I mean is not. Here’s a very relayed video.
“How else would you reply to someone wanting to know more about a topic?”
I say “by making a coherent argument”, but it would’ve been better if I had said “by using good rhetoric”. It’s just less colloquial, so I went with “argument”. I think most people still got the context though. As in the context of “the internet is filled with arguments and too often people confuse valid rhetoric and just linking an URL.”
“Do your own research” practically always come from people who have watched long videos on some controversial subject like the Earth being flat instead of an oblate spheroid, buy into it, but then aren’t able to produce an iota of rhetoric to relay any of the arguments they’ve bought into.
No, ofc not everything is an argument. I’m pretty sure you also knew that I actually know that.

Why German sounds so aggressive.

Yeah I definitely understand that people have a tendency to project negativity into words directed at them. I guess now I have first-hand experience.
But I think I’ve had enough of this conversation. Thank you for a nice chat. Goodbye.
Thank you for being open to what I said, despite not liking the tone you perceived.
A sign of a mature person indeed.
Thank you as well, enjoy your day/night.
