This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

It is not unclear. It requires a basic understanding of words which you seem to finally have figured out.

If it only required a "basic" understanding why would so many people have been making the same point to you?

If a headline says "x group did a crime" and someone responds "y group are criminals" it is not at all obvious what this person's stance on x group is. If anything this reads like a deflection onto y group, so someone might infer that the responder supports x group or at least is more concerned about y group.

If the person says "yes, x group did do a crime but let's not forget y group are criminals too" then it is super clear what this person means. If you omit a response to the actual topic at hand you have no place getting mad when people assume you don't care about that.
