I mean - it feels like you’re creating a combative situation where one does not exist. “And just who are you?” - what is the point of that? To what end and whose benefit?
As the person who experienced this particular moment, I can assure you there was nothing combative about it. It was a one off comment, a one off response, everyone moved on.
Is every disagreement you experience combative? Every correction? I tell you, I had a catch-up yesterday with a former team member that turned to the subject of web3, and that friendly debate was approximately 50x more combative as the moment I described.
My response would be more like: And just who are you?
So in a way, you’re right.
