it may have had the same effect but me being too lazy to keep going is very much not an attack and I do genuinely wish you well

I love async communication, it makes it a lot harder to leave a room in a huff after saying harmful things and then pretending you did not in fact say those things.

“Maybe if I was also on speed” was in fact, a personal attack. You chose to refer to my legally prescribed medication by the name used by drug dealers when selling it illegally for the purpose of drug abuse. The implication being that I am “on speed” being that it is incorrectly prescribed and I am abusing it recreationally.

It did not “have the same effect” in the sense that I am being overly sensitive, it had the same effect because it unequivocally was the same thing.

You can be lazy, that’s fine. I’m lazy all the time! In the cases where I do not feel like responding with the appropriate level of rigor and mutual respect I simply choose to not respond at all.

As before, have a wonderful day.
