“Shot them”. I asked if they were serious. Why are you pretending I’ve harmed someone by not understanding? I didn’t even downvote him, as immaterial as that is. And it wasn’t even like I insulted him in the process of asking.
To fix your hit piece: it’s like I saw someone with a gun and asked “what are you doing with that gun?”. And then someone pointed out we were at a gun range.
I didn’t apologize because I didn’t harm them. I asked if they were serious. Whatever harm you think happened is unrelated to my comment.
I said it was “unfortunate” because, by the ratio of ‘1 initial upvote:entirely downvotes’ they already had when I made my comment, other people had been confused like me and had just silently downvoted them.
