News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I responded because you were being arguably hostile to the other commenter in tone throughout your response, and you're being uncharitable and hostile to me here too, from my perspective. Maybe I'm too sensitive, but it doesn't seem like civil behavior.
With respect to you, I can't engage further in this conversation.
So you replied in the first place because you disliked my tone, but you were comfortable insulting me in your reply...
And when my tone didn't change after you insulted me...
You replied again to insult me again and say you didn't want to talk to me?
There is absolutely no logic in what you're doing.
At any step you could have just not replied with insults, and none of this would be happening.
Why don't you just block me? Because replying to police tone while simultaneously insulting someone isn't going to be effective for me, and most likely not anyone else.
Seriously, in general saying:
Is never ever ever going to be as effective at ending a conversation than deleting the reply instead of hitting "reply" and posting it
On some level you have to understand that, right?
I did not insult you. Your tone does not read as friendly or anything close to it. I'm recognizing that I may be too sensitive here, so I'm refraining from reporting you.
You're not being overly sensitive; they're being a cunt.
Can you block me then since you want to be polite?
I know that's a big ask because you can't even stop replying. But this is not the first time youve responded to me talking to someone else to tell me I'm not polite. Then you immediately say you don't want to "communicate" but never stop replying.
Which is pretty obviously trolling. I had you blocked for a while, so I don't know how much you've been doing this. But the tab signed me out and the first comment was civil enough I took you off to reply.
So I think the best solution is we just block each other, right? You want to say you're being polite, then do the polite thing and just ignore me instead of rehashing this again at some later date.
Nothing about my comments will change, so if you don't like them. Take the very easy step to never see them again.
Unless your trolling, which is what saying "I don't want to discuss me insulting you" and then continuing to reply over and over. Regardless, hopefully I don't fuck up and think you're worth takng off again.
