steve@communick.news Are you just here to troll or something? Because you seem like you're here just trolling.

You know you can spend your time not being a prick, right?

No that's not why I'm here.
But when people get all righteous over a simple mistake, I just can't help myself. Call it Oppositional Defiance Disorder if you like. But I enjoy teasing people who act like they're superior and try to order me around.

If it tried something like: "She a woman. You used he."
I would have reacted much more positively.
