            For suggesting someone not be a grammar nazi!? It doesn’t add anything to the conversation. I did the “your” thing on purpose to see if he’d do the same thing and of course he did. I’m not being a dick, I’m suggesting maybe overlook people’s little mistakes and contribute something worthwhile. But if that makes me a dick, then I’m a dick I guess.

              Did you know that correcting grammar mistakes does not make you a grammar nazi? If the guy was being condescending when providing the correction, then he is one. Simply giving the correct word to use in a simple and concise way is completely fine. Your over-reaction to his comment is the unreasonable one in this case.

              Your responses make you look like an overly-sensitive, humorless jagoff, hence the vote differential.

      I checked his comment history and literally his most recent comment had “its” instead of “it’s”. And that explains everything you need to know.
