Why be like that? Whether you think their position is silly or not, this person obviously gets called out on this a lot. And rather than pitch a fit over being needled about it for the umpteenth time, they responded with links that ought to satisfy any genuine curiosity. Considering the times I've seen an empty "Go educate yourself!" as a response from petulant children, I'd say buddy did us a solid. They don't owe us a personalized response.

Well, at least he's being more polite about it than this guy ...

“I will be shitting on you and your stupid fucking license vociferously from here on out because you’re an arrogant egotistical asshole.,”

But yeah, didn't think responding with informative links would be considered as disrespecting someone. 🤷‍♂️

Originally I was just telling people to look through my chat history, as I had discussed the same topic many many times before, and didn't want to detail the conversation by having to talk about it again.

But I was told that that was rude of me to do, and someone suggested I supply links instead. So I did. But apparently that's not the right thing to do either.

I actually have been trying to work with the community about this in good faith, but each thing I do something as a compromise it seems to be complained about anyway, never satisfying those who dislike me having a license declaration.

At this point I'm just sticking with the smaller font and using links when someone asks me about the license, there's nothing else I can do to satisfy those people who object, and I'm NOT going to discontinue licensing my content.

Appreciate the civility support, thank you.

I was intrigued and thought it might spark a conversation... Why do you think that's so wrong? What a massive overreaction.
