Please don't assume bad faith from a person who has no such track record. I fully respect your feelings about this, and I encourage you to share your experiences. However, we are not in FYAD, and you can say "I think that joke's not appropriate, this diet really helped me" without implying someone is intentionally mocking your progress.
I mean I could've phrased it softer still, but the post you quoted is saying precisely 'I don't want you to feel too bad
[probably should've dropped the 'too', yeah] if you just meant to joke, but you pretty much were just repeating a shitty meme about low-carb diets'
and 'we are not in FYAD' was sort of my point
that being said,

In fact, since I have a pattern of being an inconsiderate asshole, I should just say that he’s right. I am a gat age tier person posting garbage memes because I don’t really like or trust people so if I stop posting, the problem solves itself.
I’m sorry I suck so much, bigdog. I feel terrible about hurting you.

I'm sorry, Madeline. I was honestly too rough in my phrasing there, especially given that I should personally know better. I should probably have edited my first reaction rather than just made a follow-up post.
Yeah, you
did write something that was inconsiderate in hindsight, but it's not like I haven't done that plenty of times too over the course of my adult life, with "jokes" even. So let's agree that most people, you and me included, are fundamentally good-intentioned and that there's room for grace and forgiveness where necessary. All right?
Mods-- if you want to delete this whole chain of posts (preferably after Madeline has gotten to read my reply) or move it to the RUSP or something, I won't complain.

I don’t blame you for being mad at me. I’m really horrible at considering what I post before I post it, and I need to do a lot better.
