I am not understanding what you want from me

i think the basic confusion people are having is that, when you phrase it like "I use it/its in spaces where I do not plan on engaging with people as individuals" and "This space is not a chat room and there is no reason to treat it as such. It is a forum.", how that comes off to some people is you are kind of treating this place like a dumping ground for what you want to talk about and then ignoring other people jumping off of your posts. that may or may not be what you intend to do; so that's why people are trying to clarify the intent of your posts.

i mean i did mention replying to comments though, so idk how they could assume that i was planning on ignoring them?

idk it feels like bad faith assumptions

like people keep saying im not going to use peoples pronouns when i didnt say anything about that?

Because you said that you use it/its when you are in a forum where you don't plan on interacting as an individual, and I think they took that to mean you will use it/its when addressing others.
