    How about this. I would rather the entire ecosystem including you and I collapse than keep putting up with the little vampires. For such a snarky prick I don’t see with any answers

      Lol! The point of asking questions is to learn, not to give answers.

      And I did learn from at least one or two other interesting answers!

        NOT the person you’re replying to.

        You, rightly imnsho, got a snarky response because you weren’t just asking a question.

        This (below) is fine

        What exactly is the risk to the ecosystem?

        This (below) earned you the snark.

        Since you’re okay with it, you should know what it is, right?

        That reads very clearly as “I don’t think you know shit, prove it, and unless you do, you don’t have a right to an opinion”

        You didn’t know whether OP did or did not have a handle on the ecological impact. Either stop at the first bit, or word the second less aggressively.

        Feedback is being provided here because you are taking an overt “I was just asking a question why are you snarking stance”. If that’s fake then I’ll just block and move on.

          I know that I was being snarky and not “just asking a question”, because “I don’t care about consequences the ecosystem” is a silly stance to take.

          It’s likely they were making a joke, so yeah, my aggression was probably too heavy in retrospect.
