Can you just summarize?
If you think someone is making light of a serious situation and you want people to know that, I think you should say it in words. Speaking for myself, I’m not making light of anything, and that characterization seemed respectful. I’m not sure what part you read as glib or jokey, and your response when asked to clarify seems needlessly cryptic.
I do this sometimes, all of my arguments have been countered, but I’m so sure I’m right. I’m probably just phrasing it wrong or thinking too slow, yeah thats it.
If I don’t realize what I’m doing I’ll go spend the next hour trying to solve the puzzle of “what I could have said to win the argument”.
Hopefully they come back and think on it again when they are less defensive.
