That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Ask and ye shall receive! 😋
Maybe I just come across really aggressively or something and I'm completely oblivious to it, somehow? 🤷♂️ I dunno... I feel like any time I just try to participate in whatever random conversation I stumble across that interests me on here and have the audacity to disagree even slightly with someone, it's like they just suddenly go from 0 to absolute fucking bell end instantly.
I am genuinely trying to be as polite as possible, tried to demonstrate my willingness to acknowledge being wrong in the face of evidence if given some, and didn't even call his mom a cunt or anything (as far asI I'm aware lol)... I mean, shit, sometimes I just like playing Devil's advocate for the hell of it, regardless of whatever my personal feelings regarding "X topic" may be. Maybe that's why I don't get the whole sudden aggression when faced with even the smallest hint of dissension at all times!
Had a read, would toss it in the "boats at night" pile. There was a geneal misread of the intended vibe of one another. Everyone came in with their genuine hats but left with something off-brand.
The original post is more of a commentary on the fact that old trucks have value just in being old trucks. Beyond the vintage stuff that all vehicles have there are certain trucks that are reliable easy to fix, easy to get parts for and not 4 wheeled tanks; valuable to someone who actually uses a truck as a daily worker. It's a thing that is mostly unique to trucks because of their value as a work vehicle. (Sprinter type vans also have a similar type thing now because of the vanlife™ community)
So, if your in the know the comment reads a lot like a conversation about those 40yo washing machines that never die that people talk about. Like, no one is saying a 40yo washer is better but also why are they better? Kinda thing
Your comment seems genuine but feels like you misread that whole meta conversation that was happening. Then instead of them looping you in and saying, "Yo, I'm only being half serious" they instead came with "old trucks hold their value way more then you think, also stop being so serious" which is a little unclear vibe-wise.
So there's a bit of back and forth where you guys are just not really clicking and then you hit em with the: "I'm not sure if you're illiterate, struggle with reading comprehension, or are just plain stupid, tbh" but I assume you were done at that point 🤷

You were definitely the aggressor in this situation, yes.
This was the instigating comment.
Have a read from the start until that comment, and I'm sure you can tell the mood switch you brought to the table with that comment.
I'm not blaming you. Sometimes we read into things. Interpret things that aren't being said. Maybe that's what happened to you here. Sometimes it happens.
❤️ I'd go back and apologize to that person, for calling them illiterate and stupid etc.
Have a good one, buddy!
