To me it feels like a matured Reddit. (At least most of the time 🙃)

How is this not proving his point? Your whole comment is you bragging about how you arbitrarily decide that someone has nothing worthwhile to say based on an in group/out group dynamic that you created. It might not be needlessly hostile, but it is arbitrarily hostile.

Maybe it's the opposite of your experience because you lack the self-awareness to realize that people who always play by in group/out group dynamics are who he is complaining about, despite how mature they consider themselves to be. They still act like cliquish high school girls.

Speaking of proving the point lol

How are you not proving his point? The very first thing I said was “that’s unfortunate”, because I empathize. I also used the word “maybe” because I’m not omniscient and could very well be wrong. Describing my own experience is not “bragging” or “hostile”, and since it’s related to the topic at hand, certainly isn’t arbitrary.

Unlike you, I didn’t lead off with a paragraph of assumptions.

I’m not even touching that ridiculous “group dynamics” bullshit, or the personal insults. They speak for themselves quite well. Have you ever heard of giving someone the benefit of the doubt?

Don’t waste too much effort on your inevitable reply. I won’t be reading it.
