it's not hard to notice this when you've been part of multiple communities where people with various personalities converse, argue and clash with each other and yet, hyperbole is almost exclusively used by the same kind of people, but sure, continue to insult me because I think it's an atrocious rhetoric device
The problem is more that you make a villain out of hot air, i literally had no target with my post. So you literally fight against nothing for nothing. There is no person to defend and to be honest my ego is way too big to take a hit from a stranger giving me a lecture.

You interpreted my post as negative and put a negative post yourself out there. Which is basically fighting fire with fire.

So i am sorry weary forum user, it seems you have no fight left to fight.
^- See that is a joke, a reference to the gremlin ingame to lighten the mood. Which was my first post too, something fun to read and to enjoy for others. Something that is so exaggerated that nobody could take it serious, well almost nobody.

And again i don't mean to insult you, at all. Just trying to bring my point across in a fun and understanding way to be a contradiction to the always dry and heated discussions you find in forums. In my eyes it's nicer to read a exaggerated joke with a hint of truth instead of people just biting each others ankles. (At least we Lalafell since that is the only region of you cloudbreathers we can reach!)
