Being an asshole about it was uncalled for. \
to:
Being an asshole about it was uncalled for. \\\"you know you failed in your example.\\\" That confrontational tone is deliberately insulting. I did not, in fact, know. And it\\\'s one thing for someone to make a mistake. It\\\'s quite another to imply they were stupid for doing so as opposed to not understanding it. If you want to correct a mistake, correct it. Insulting someone in the process only makes you a jerkass.

Oh no, the Dragon Age editor did come by. It\'s just that I had already been told that I made a mistake in my posting, and that it was more a GreyAndGreyMorality or EvilVersusEvil situation as opposed to StrawmanHasAPoint. I didn\'t really get the spirit of the trope, so I was told I made a mistake, and I understand it better now.
