Did you really think saying "I'm curious, what happened here" wasn't going to come off as smug and condescending? Did you really expect it to garner a civil and cordial response?

Like actually? What did you think our reaction would be? I have a hard time believing you didn't think you were gonna "troll" us and when we mounted a better response than you thought you decided to get pissy and start moaning about civility.

I think they were "curious" about the kind of response they would get, rather than the event itself but seeing that there are valid responses that they cant just dismiss snidly and everyone thinks they're stupid they have to coddle their bruised ego by pretending they were curious about the actual event all along. As in pretend to themselves mainly to protect against their hurt feelings.

It's a punch to the ego to be laughed at by the people you thought you were smarter than and realising you actually have no clue about what you thought would be an easy dunk does hurt.
