Nobody can reply in disagreement to a comment like yours without making you feeling rightious and validated. Downvoted.


Several notes:

a) Why attempt to make judgements about how other people "feel" when you simply don't know. For example, in this case I feel neither "rightious" nor "validated" from what others post. Instead I _know_ from my own experiences over several decades how cook-unfriendly cast-iron cookware is.

b) It's "righteous", not "rightious". Perhaps you could enable a spell-checker. It is much easier to read posts with correct spelling (and grammar).


> Let the posts from the alleged hundreds of blissfully contented cast-iron skillet users now commence.

This line is pointless baiting and your post would have been better without it.

> Please don't bait other users by inviting them to downmod you.

Your spelling lame in your follow-up post is just rude and again needlessly baiting.


My statement in an earlier post, which you reference here, was neither baiting nor rude. I know how passionately people feel about their cast-iron skillets. Indeed so much so that they simply cannot resist showing their cast-iron love. Making fun of that is fair play.

Pointing out a misspelling, even if only one of tens of thousands made on this and other Internet groups, is simply a honest reminder that literacy is valued even on the Internet. I said nothing rude. Your calling the correction "lame" _is_, however, at the least ambiguous and at the worst truly rude, since you may be making (incorrect) assumptions about my internal state of mind.
