While you have accused people of being snarky, one thing you need to realize here in MLC is that most of us tend not to sugar coat things.
And many of the posters have read “I didn’t know” or “I won’t do it again because…”, to see the same behavior being repeated and repeated and repeated. So just because you say it once doesn’t mean that it will not be readdressed by more than one person…
As far as what you do now?
You work on YOU…
So you gave him an ultimatum…
Maybe that will change for you in time, but for now, just don’t say it again…
Listen to those posting to you…
The guys, they DO read the entire thread, just like I do, and yes, we will pick and choose what stands out as red flags…
And they do their best to stick with the women and our long winded posts LOL.
You will receive as much encouragement here as you will constructive criticism…
It is up to you how to handle it…
If something comes across as controlling, abusive, snarky, or “stings” then you maybe need to look at what is inside and why it makes you feel that way, before you jump off the deep end and push people, people who really can help you away…
We have all been there, we have all had to learn…
Learn more, then do better…
