  I want to make a joke about your username as it would fit the second statement you made, but I lack your creativity and also don’t want to diminish legitimate praise.

      Of course. The only time I intentionally / knowingly say something to hurt people is when I’m very certain they will benefit from hearing it (“you have this flaw and it’s hurting you, so hearing this input hopefully helps you improve your lot”).

      I don’t do that often at all because I’m bad at a lot of things, including some at which I’m good, so I’m rarely confident enough about stuff to criticize someone else.

      I suppose technically I also might offer hurtful feedback if my honest opinion were to be solicited about something bad.

      Your prose was good - I even made a user note about you to remind me next time we interact - but even if it were awful I can’t see how me being a dick about it would help you. I do like your username, though.

      Sorry for the narcissistic WOT. I hope you have a great day!
