No, I read your whole comment, it's very informative. You still wrote about not elevating loosers in the end. Seems like a cultural thing to me, since I'm not American.
If you read the comment, you'd know that the losers he's referring to are Confederate generals. Don't elevate the leaders of the racist civil war. It wasn't a blanket statement applying to anyone who ever lost.
Your response reminds me of this:
And those aren't my words you're taking out of context.
As I said before, I read the comment twice. Yes, they talk about slavist, racist, confederate generals at first, then, only about loosers. You can, of course, read the comment as if they are still talking about the three things bundled together, but another read is reasonably possible. I wouldn't reply in this way if it wasn't, but this is getting too distracting from the main point of the post. I'm sorry if I came across as too judicious. I extend these apologies to OP.
Holy fucking cherrypicking, Batman
Maybe they're a fucking loser and they feel offended.
