I see this pattern so often and it gives me vicarious irritation: 1) person tweets about [whatever] 2) someone else replies in agreement, and does so by explaining OP's point back to OP it's not totally clear how often #2 is intentional but DON't DO thAT if you can help it

I am not talking about a "let's see if I understand you correctly" kinda thing. it's like OP: "I love that flamingos are pink because of their diet!" reply: "The flamingo is a charming creature! Flamingos have pink feathers due to the small aquatic creatures they eat"

Flamingos example maybe not the best =/ I think the pattern here is actually: 1) OP says something that *implies* background knowledge (e.g. dietary habits of flamingos) 2) someone replies with that background knowledge, as if OP weren't aware MADDENING

I think both you and the person I'm subtweeting now need to get over it. You should read people's comments to you in a kind and favorable light, and be encouraged that they thought so much of what you had to say that they wanted to say something to you as well.

> You should read people's comments to you in a kind and favorable light there are two different things going on here — I think the vast majority of these people have positive intent / are benign, but they are still fucking annoying and I don't want to deal with them

I usually either mute them or respond with THATSTHEJOKE jpg
