What does liking me have to do with anything? I'm actually quite thrilled at the people who do and don't like me: both groups say a lot. In any case, that wasn't even close to what I was talking about.

I was suggesting that maybe once enough people have called you out as being a d*ck, you should do something to correct your attitudes towards others and try to become more tolerant. You don't have to like everyone, and everyone doesn't have to like you, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be as good a person as possible.

Wow! Someone tells you to be more respectfull and you turn around and say this. 😆

The way he worded it made me feel like I should be reclined on an Italian leather lounge with my hands folded on my chest, while staring at a fishtank and listening Sounds of the Ocean. And all the while a middle-aged hippie is telling me his post verbatim.

Yeah, I wasn't going for any particular idiom. But it seems he took it as such, and also used that as an excuse to ignore my advice, confirming his image as a jerk.
