Well, my post was kind of justified in getting an angry response.

My angry response is because a) responding to anger, gotta be defensive, and b) fuck people who use the mute feature then respond to those who they muted. They essentially are saying "I don't want to hear you speak, but I am perfectly happy to respond to you". Which is the definition of one sided pick-your-moment discourse that makes you feel better about yourself while silencing others.
