Do you want people to "have modicum of common sense" but don't want to exercise any modicum of responsibility.
It's fine if you just accept when someone points out your flaws like any good writer would do when an editor points out some really really really really basic edits.
I may be wrong, but it seems like you are throwing a temper tantrum because someone dared to correct a error you made.
Just fix it, thank them for helping you fix your argument, and move on feeling better about the effort you made.
Correct me all day long, you’re right I should be more specific and prefer to do so.
But don’t pretend my entire point is invalid because an unrelated point is inaccurate in a way that isn’t pertinent at all. It’s lazy internet trollery and it deserves to be called out when committed, as I did and will continue to do.
And we don’t have to assume that’s what they were doing, they straight up said it at some point here.
Nobody did until you started having a temper tantrum.
