Reply to comment by everyoneisnuts in Are there any stores in RI that sell Christmas flags? by CanadianDeathMetal

I’m a dick for pointing out online ordering? I don’t think so.

This person is smart enough to use Reddit to ask where to buy something but not smart enough to order the shit online. Makes no sense whatsoever.

Some people don’t like ordering things online.

Regardless, you don’t have to be condescending or question someone’s intelligence for asking a question.

Once again, some people don’t like ordering online but will spend hours out of their day calling and traveling to stores from the top to bottom of the state to get a Christmas flag?

Sounds pretty justified to me.

You’re really trying to justify being a dick because someone is doing something you wouldn’t? Odd thing to double down on. It’s pretty easy to just accept that other people have their own preferences. Why continue to criticize?

I’m not being a dick. All I’m doing is pointing out some pretty obvious stuff here.

Notice how no one ever said I was wrong, they just said I was a dick which is like a classic grade-school tactic when no one has anything else left to say to contradict the point.

You know, it’s possible to make a recommendation without being condescending and questioning their intelligence.

Edit- because when you do so, you’re being a dick.

I’d rather be a dickhead who’s right than a nice person who’s wrong.

Or you can be kind and right and avoid being a dick entirely. It’s really not difficult. You’re fixation on being ‘right’ is entirely subjective in regards to a matter of personal preference, and you’re clinging to that argument in order to justify being rude.

I’m going to leave this discussion now. If you feel motivated to further try to argue why you feel inclined or justified in being unkind, go right ahead, but I’m not going to continue to engage.
