    The fact that you see this
    If you can't figure out how to dodge things, try observing rather than guessing.
    as any kind of insult as opposed to a general helpful statement, is more of a reflection on yourself than anyone else.
    It's clearly insinuating that I've been too stupid to do anything other than guess at an event that is obviously designed to not be guesswork, unlike Typhon. I can read between the lines, even if you supposedly can't.

    Though that being said, your original post already said plenty about your character.
    Like what, exactly? That someone can find something difficult that you happen to find easier? That I happen to not like something that you do? Oh, what a terrible crime I've committed

    The fact that you're sitting here arguing with people and acting butt-hurt over these perceived slights, instead of digesting the extremely detailed and helpful information provided to you, make it pretty clear that you prefer blaming others for your own shortcomings over trying to improve yourself. Tbh it might even be part of the reason you're struggling with this GATE so much. Instead of feeling upset and retreating into a shell of self-pity, how about taking a look at the information the game (and the first person who replied to you) provides you and figuring out how to do better next time instead?

    Also it's ironic that you're trying to sit on a high horse about people taking a "snooty" or "pretentious" tone, as well as bringing out the "adage of being able to catch more flies with honey rather than vinegar". Take a look in the mirror bruh.

    And sometimes "reading between the lines" is seeing things that aren't there, and taking offence that wasn't intended.

    Yes the first line could be taken badly. But they've taken the time to write out detailed instructions in an attempt to help you understand it, and for me that majority of the post is a much clearer indication of their intent - especially if everyone else is reading it that way and not seeing it as rude.

    Maybe they phrased it badly, maybe they understood your issue wrongly, but they were trying to help.
