Why would I have a problem with you responding to it? I don't view these interactions as the slightest bit combative. So when you say "not everything is combative," think about what you are implying—that I believe everything is combative. Really? Okay. Stop pretending you can read minds.
I wasn't using problems or issues as a form of animosity. I utilized them in terms of the discussion. I've been trying to pinpoint your position (maybe a better word?) and how it contrasts with mine. Again, you started the conversation by telling me you don't think a single person said Pete's a bad coach, which is hyperbole, so I tried to zero in on your prior comments to provide a concrete example of what I meant by the term "bad." But man, you go off on so many tangents with implicit assumptions—about what I believe—we lost that thread. And as we untied those knots and got to the core of your position, you made things weirdly personal by reading into my words rather than reading them.
Do you think it’s possible it’s how you word things? I’m not the only one who’s had an issue with you. You just had to apologize to someone else for the same thing.
I didn’t make anything personal. The way you wrote it made it personal which is why I asked and even said if I’m reading it wrong, apologies. So maybe it’s remotely possible how you choose to frame things can be a little weird and come across combative.
Anyway I obviously didn’t mean “not a single person” in the literal sense. I meant I don’t think anyone HERE is arguing that Pete is a terrible coach.
