    You may want to reconsider your phrasing then if you don’t want it to appear to be argumentative.

      Neutral party here, I read it naturally as a supplement to your comment, not an opposition. I don’t detect an argumentative tone personally.

        You’re welcome to your opinion but these phrases

        I feel like the opening sentences explained the reasoning behind the article sufficiently,

        They’re not the only ones pointing this out, either.

        are oppositional in tone.

            I didn’t ask you. I didn’t ask the other neutral guy either. Not my issue that you have a problem with me suggesting the original respondent check his phrasing to make his intention clear, or pointing out the specific phrases that make it unclear.

                The only reason this continues is because you morons insist on it. I stand by my feedback to the person who responded to me, whether you like it or not. Get over it, you’re not going to harass me into changing my mind about it.

                The funny part is I wasn’t picking a fight, that’s what you douchebags are doing with the ongoing commentary. For me this would have been done and forgotten about already.
