This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What they wrote is extremely easy to understand, I have no idea what your issue is. I'm sorry that you have a hard time with context.

People shouldn't need context to get the basic gist of what you are saying. These sentences you are reading, right now, provide a fully defined meaning with little consideration of context. One could even use these sentences to infer context if the above elements were not available. That's communication. And it is understandable to be casual to a certain degree, but the moment one decides not simply to be unmotivated to explain the meaning of their overly casual utterances, but actively choose to pretend that the failure is entirely that of the receiver, the person is going to effort to be insulting. They could have stayed silent. They are actively choosing harm. Why is that so hard to understand?
