Okay lol to be a bit more serious though I think you're making a great point. Reddit with its current model of communication is creating docile yes-men that are either too afraid or too lazy to type up a long, coherent argument.

The quality of posts on the site are becoming (or have been for a while now) really shitty, especially the more popular the subreddits are. It's somewhat unavoidable, but if I had a nickel for every time I made a gigantic post about something, and somebody either didn't read it correctly or deliberately took something I said out of context to be an offended prick, I'd be rich. It's getting more to be like facebook, where people don't continue or start a debate/argument to learn and develop discussion, it's just to one-up people and have their little "gotcha" moment in the spotlight where they can collect karma.

Exactly. I was/am getting tired of saying something as simple as "i like roses, not as much as tulips, but i like them." only to get replies about how I'm an idiot for liking sunflowers instead of tulips.

I'm often confused. It's like arguing with my ex, at a certain point I'm not arguing about what i said but what they heard and likely just using any excuse to argue their point regardless of what i say.
