I love how the self awareness just defuses all hostility insanely
Okay, let’s think about this for a second.
Let’s say censoredname says that to Paul in person. When is beating someone’s ass a legit way to win an argument?
I mean, censoredname is a dick, but violence is a comeback at the level of a caveman.
I don’t read it as him being a dick necessarily. He’s saying he’s a good commentator. I’d say the same thing about Tony Romo.
I mean, Paul’s response didn’t seem pleased
Tbf, a threat of violence is only one way to read his response (I know nothing about this Paul dude and his personality, so maybe it was 100% a threat idk).
I could also see his comment as meaning “just because you’re behind a computer screen doesn’t mean you should feel able to say shit that you’d never say to a person’s face”, because let’s be honest, that’s a reminder a lot of folks on the internet could use, regardless of who could kick whose ass
Of course censoredname would never be in any danger saying that to Paul in person, but censoredname would never say it, because of the implication.
It’s not necessarily a threat of violence. A lot of people would just feel ashamed to criticise other people in person would feel fine to do it on the Internet. Being a dick is a lot harder when you can see the effects of your words on the other person.
Usually when someone says, “Would you say that to my face?”, it’s a threat.
Maybe he’s just pointing out it’s rude to say and asking if this guy would behave this way in person. Notice he didn’t bring violence into the conversation, the other guy did.
Saying “Would you say that to my face?” Especially from a fighter definitely implies violence. And the guy definitely picked up on that threat
Congratulations on learning English lol
