He is aware that it is a very petty thing to get upset about because it's an item he paid for from pocket change but he IS upset and he DOES feel like he's won some kind of moral victory by neither backing down nor getting provoked into yelling at the guy

Hence the reversal - he's the asshole and the other guy is the one showing backbone/courage/restraint/maturity etc by not blowing up at him

I am harping on this because you and your ilk are, broadly speaking, so fundamentally immune to ever seeing yourself as the asshole and so absolutely convinced that you just being a prick on the Internet all the time is some kind of badge of courage

Well, it is largely left-wing feminists pointing out potential conflicts with women's rights to single-sex spaces, sports etc. and was kicked off because the right-wing government was proposing to relax rules around obtaining a GRC etc.

Ah, yes, and in such a short time your movement has won a stunning victory, putting lifelong socialist and civil rights activist Liz Truss in power against the will of the rabidly pro-trans Tory machine Only a truly grassroots organizing effort could've beat the odds like this
