    I COULD take this bait, or I could satisfy myself that 325 people had absolutely no problem understanding how a megaphone doesn’t need to be a LITERAL megaphone, and go about my day. I know which I’m gonna do, and wish you luck in whatever you’ve got on your plate, my needlessly confrontational friend.

      I mean most likely if someone didn’t get it they probably just moved on and didn’t comment or even vote. So wouldn’t look into the votes too much as a source on how easy to understand the meme was

        Edit: I apologize. You’re right. That response was out of proportion and I let some nitpicking drive me to an inappropriate level of escalation. You in particular didn’t deserve to have the full brunt of that put into a direct response to you - you were the most reasonable commenter here. I was out of line.

          You’re being weirdly hostile and demeaning about someone who isn’t a native speaker (talking about me) not immediately getting the meaning of your meme. Sorry it took me a few attempts, I guess.

                Not at all. I know it’s not a good reason, or a valid excuse, but I had a really bad couple of days and after my head cooled I felt awful about taking it out on you, especially after finding you really AREN’T a native speaker. 100% my post was completely out of line. Hope it wasn’t too disruptive to your day.

                  I’m not unfamilair to losing my cool sometimes. So I get it. Happens. I was more surprised about the reaction than anything.

          I just want to let you know, you wasted a lot of time typing this all up, so I’m not wasting any more by reading it 🤗

      Even the person you replied to said “Took me a few reads”. And another post was confused as well.
