On the contrary, I don’t think there’s anything respectful about assuming that the OP doesn’t have the agency to decide for themselves whether they want to respond to my question or not.

Additionally, I don’t have a lot of respect for anyone with the ego to assume they know what information was withheld “deliberate”ly or not in a discussion like this. How do you know that?! How do you not see that the OP can make this decision for themselves?!




Man, you're pushy. Yes, it was deliberate to exclude that information, and yes they were correct in their assumption.

If being respectful means anything it means reading their post closely and trying to understand what they were trying to convey. You can't talk about denying someone agency if you won't pay attention to what they're telling you.

They did make that decision for themselves! It was clear from their post!
