    Well, your reply was:

    Am I dumb or is the the reply nonsense

    You set yourself up for failure.

    Then you blame them for answering your question directly.

    We all can and should continue to improve our communication skills.

    We are mostly all human here, so we always have room for improvement and civility.

    Some take the high road, and some say “f the high road.”

      To be fair the expected (and common and civil) kinds of replies to such a comment are either to agree with the second item, or to explain why they misunderstand.

      Sure, just saying “yea ur dumb lol” is technically a reasonable answer, but is not helpful to the discussion, and is pretty rude as a response to a partially self-depricating comment.
