I think you're getting downvoted because everyone assumes that you're being a pedant, not because your asked a question.

Nah, they're definitely a troll.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Could be.

Mods felt the need to remove their posts, but they were either a troll/bad faith actor or an idiot.

I understand but what a weird thing to just assume

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think it was the phrasing. The comment you responded to didn't say that Musk had said either of the things you asked about. If you've been paying attention to the news about the complaints coming out of his companies its very clear that he is those things. It seems that your question is intended to refute the contents of the comment by being pedantic about whether Musk had actually said those things.

right, all fair. But nowadays everybody is spewing up nonsense, so it's only natural to stop and ask why/how. Sure, I could search the web, but I'm talking about the principle. If spewing shit is okay, then questioning it should also be okay, obviously.

It just sounded a little bit like you were jumping to his defense. I gave you the benefit of the doubt and explained it but I think that's what happened. There are a LOT of pedants on Lemmy who will argue about whether someone said a specific word of phrase rather than addressing the underlying and obvious truth that someone is a wretched asshole (like Elon Musk.))
