so what are you trying to achieve @blissful trellis ?

Thanks for creating this! If you would like I can summarize the context again, but at this stage I think I have reached sufficient conclusion on the alternative design

At this stage I am more concerned with figuring out how to avoid clashing with the community by failing to properly communicate my thoughts and intentions

It is clear that several people consider me to be rude or to be behaving negatively in some way, when that is absolutely not my intention whatsoever

And since it is not the first instance this happens, I want to figure out how I can improve

Here I was told it is over-engineered, but that was already covered in an earlier part of the convo, so I highlighted that and the person 👍 so I thought that was resolved

Then, 10 minutes later, they again said it is over-engineered -- they sent no other message between these two messages though

Then this happened:

I had no negative intentions, but either I failed to communicate well, or they were being rude and I should have ignored them? Or a mix of both? I don't know, but I don't feel well when such interactions happen, and I would like to learn how to communicate better to avoid such interactions occuring

also there was this:

this showed that there was an inherent misunderstanding

i'm sorry, happy to discuss any factorio related content, but I'm not an expert in the social metaverse

No worries! Thanks

I don't know where to turn to for advice on such things

But it is clearly a problem because it's not the first time it happens

Which implies that I must learn to communicate better (assuming the reactions of those people were in good faith)
