    My message was about reforming the system and your response was

    “The system isn’t bad, it’s just that the natural reactions of everyone in the system are wrong”

    It’s hard to see that as anything but advocacy of tearing down the system, which is something far too many people unironically believe.

      You: “I smell great!”

      Me: “I think you smell bad”

      You: “You think an aspect of me is bad, this must mean you think everything about me is bad. You must hate me the most”

      Me: “No… you just need to take a shower.”

      You: “I can’t see how telling me that I am smelly doesn’t mean you hate me.”

      I don’t what to tell you, it’s not that hard to get.

        Me: “The system needs a shower.”

        You: “This entire system is bad.”

        Me: “You’re an idiot to think the system is unshowerable.”

        You: “I was the first person to suggest a shower!”

        You’re a fucking loon, mate.

          Why don’t you just take a day and re-read your reply and see if it still makes sense to you in the context of our conversation.
