When you're clearly not talented enough in writing to effectively convey your thoughts unambiguously (even after editing your initial comment), I don't think you have a leg to stand on when defending against the "being a jerk" accusations when you respond as you did to someone having misinterpreted you.
This being said I don't think your ability to speak/write English shows any indication of your intelligence, but when you insult someone for not interpreting your poorly worded comment correctly, it's safe to say you're being a fucking jerk.
You don't want to engage in good faith so you rely on those stupid fallacies.
I dare you to speaks perfectly in a 3rd language.
I literally stated I think it has nothing to do with your intelligence. I just think its mean to insult someone for not understanding you when you're also communicating in a language that's not your first.
What if I said something in your first language that was ambiguous, prompting you to correct me, and insulted you for not understanding me?
Also I never mentioned any fallacies, I called you a jerk for behaving like one.
