I have upvoted this comment. Even though I’m not thrilled with the way chaosmosis has been conducting emself, “You’re being hurtful, I don’t like you, leave me be” is a reasonable sentiment and doesn’t need to be attacked.
I read the above (grandparent) comment not as “You’re being hurtful, I don’t like you, leave me be”, but instead as “I can tell that everything you say is a veiled insult, everyone’s against me, I am being punished by shadowy figures, when I act poorly it’s your fault”. Am I missing something?
I would go through and elaborate on how I read it, but it’s gone now. Apparently chaosmosis endorses my interpretation, which is at least some evidence that I had it right.

I downvoted the comment as a (mildly) inappropriate personal attack. It’s not all that much different in nature to other acts of social aggression against the reputation of an individual. Occasionally a context will arise where such an utterance is justified but this isn’t one of them.
Regarding the ‘leave me be’ in particular, people do not have the right to choose when others are permitted reply to public utterances—and such a power would be far too exploitable were it to be granted.

Mostly the context of previous interpersonal conflicts.
Ah. Well, noted! Thanks.

Fair enough!

Meh.
