What do you gain from behaving this way? I understand it's easy to get heated online but you're just plainly trying to get under someone's skin for no reason. Maybe you genuinely disagree that calling a stranger "buddy" right at the start of a disagreement is disrespectful, but you're literally just responding derisively to someone in a way that you know they find disrespectful, underneath a post specifically telling you to be respectful in disagreements.
Also, personally I think it's strange to question someone else's understanding of English in regards to calling a stranger "buddy" in a disagreement, seeing as I think most English speakers would understand the passive aggressive attitude of such a thing easily.
