internet forums are arenas of shifting allegiances, there are no permanent friends nor foes, only interests
one is a foe so long as one chooses to be hostile, usually passive aggressive, but I don't hold grudges
I’m rarely if ever hostile. Just more willing than most to call you on your bullshit.
I consider you an interesting character that amuses and annoys in equal measure.
so this is a passive aggressive response, but I don't find reputational destruction tactics to be effective here
people know me here, thus I wear your incessant scolding as a badge of honour
you are effeminate, passive aggressive, you engage in scolding & shaming tactics
but this is a very male forum, so your engaging in these feminine tactics just lowers your reputation here
boys will be boys, it's a rough & tumble arena, to engage in scolding is to make yourself not one of the boys
you haven't actually called me on any bullshit, that's just a passive aggressive way of calling me a liar
to be one of the boys, you would be aggressive, say what lies you think I have told, confront me
instead you rush about like a mother hen, scolding and trying to police the threads
