Thanks for explaining a lot in your response. You do not call your response rude, then?

I'm rude because you're derailing. Let's count the ways.

Trivializing the topic as not-so-bad, so ignorable: check.

Conspiracy theory about the ultimate aims of people requesting civility and respect: check.

The supposedly confusing nature of the topic means you can't even google the terms you're supposedly confused about, and need me to read the internet aloud to you: check.

My rude tone in response excuses yours so there's no problem: check.

No, not acceptable. Go read on your own and try again.

You should be ashamed of your behaviour.

I'm ashamed that a place I associate so commonly produces threads like this.

What do you think I should be ashamed of?
