I think you've discovered the same tricks of status-gaining and coolness that the high-school bully did when you were all 16. Some people can stand it and find it funny, while others are likely going to go home and think about killing themselves just for an out.
And others take the bully out first.
Not that we are encouraging high school shootings.
Of course not. Killing everyone is way disproportionate.
I feel like you guys have this unusually serious idea of what I'm doing. No one's being "bullied" or harmed, and the majority of people I act towards are people I see and interact with frequently.
I can only assume that, since so many people are taking it that way, that there's been some horrible fault in my description.
I thought about this a bit more after posting. I definitely do something that could plausibly be described by your previous post with certain people that I'm very comfortable/familiar with. Context is hard on the internet and I can imagine contexts where your described behaviours would be sensible. But they weren't the first ones that came to mind.
