      The “intentions” (whatever this esoteric word means) of other people are never clear. And people might fool themselves by claiming that they know otherwise, but they don’t.

      In other words: OP is asking a question, treat it as such, instead of assuming too much out of it.

        At the time I answered, he had only gotten a few negative responses from people and a lot of downvotes, and I genuinely didn’t know where to approach the question from.

        Informing him that his question was unclear in a neutral tone was a genuine attempt at being helpful.

        You are reading a lot more judgement from my comment than I think is appropriate.

          My own comment sounded rude. Sorry for that.

          I wasn’t highlighting any sort of judgment from your part, I was highlighting the fact that we [people] don’t really know each others’ intentions. As such, it’s simply easier to see OP’s question by what it is, without digging too deeper on it.

            I see! I do appreciate you pushing for more understanding. :) Op didn’t need all the negativity from people.
