Honestly, this is a fair response to an outrageously sensationalist headline. There is promise in this particular style of vaccine, and it deserves further research, but to claim it’s going to cure all these disorders is something so far from the current truth that it really verges on an outright lie.
They added subtlety and made a point, you just reacted skeptically to a headline
If you're surprised by this, you should really put more thought into why your post went negative
Ok? But like... I don't know how to say this without sounding harsh, but why would I care that you scoffed when you read the headline?
You were expressing your feelings, but that's all your first post did. Hell, it's not immediately clear exactly what you disagreed with. Is the science bad? Is the site untrustworthy? Is the article bad? Or is the only problem that the headline is clickbait?
At least if you said "this headline is bullshit", someone could have either agreed and moved the conversation towards what the headline should have said, or they'd say "no, it sounds crazy but this is actually legit"
Yours being in the negative is the whole reason I responded to it, actually. I was hoping my context could make people see that yours was the appropriate stance for those who aren’t hopelessly naive. Sorry it didn’t work!
Because there’s a difference between “dismissive” and “skeptical.” Your comment was dismissive whereas adj16’s was skeptical.
And surprise surprise, when actual sentences are used to express full ideas and sentiments instead of just sarcasm, it gets accepted better, especially when it’s something that actually matters to folks.
Negative output = negative responses
Ok bro
I fully understand the difference between skeptical and dismissive.
I was very intentionally choosing dismissive.
Have a nice day.
