On your responses to @moistgorilla and @aninhumer: You refer o a problem between you and some others, and I say in my comment that you are the source of such problem.  I did not have an intent of insult or personal attack, I&#x27;m sorry.<p>Follows a refutation of your response to me.<p>Firstly, you drew a profile, publically, of someone who is so pedantic that they couldn&#x27;t interact with other people, and I commented on such profile, which incidentally happened to be yours.  If you do not want comments on your character, why write about it on HN?  And by answering you, I answered you and other people like you, thus commented on the situation itself, rather than your personal phenomenon.  I don&#x27;t know you, I wouldn&#x27;t bother to attack your personality.  You opened it to discussion, and I stated my ideas about it.<p>Now, on language, the purpose of the language is to communicate some meaning.  Sarcasm is used to communicate some meaning to, but the meaning happens to be the opposite of the literal meaning of the words.  Even abstract poetry does communicate something.  Whether the message is coherent and comprehensible is another discussion.  But language _cannot_ be used in a non-communicating manner.<p>You stated that you avoid social interaction because of others&#x27; ambiguous use of language.  And I answered you mistake contexts and registers of language.  I may have used the word <i>problematic</i> mistakenly--and I&#x27;m sorry if I did.  English is my L2.  But I do support my stance on the situation that you share with many others.  I had severe social interaction problems, including those like yours, and one needs to admit them and understand that he is the source of the problem to be able to fix oneself.  You may want to continue to be asocial, in which case it&#x27;s your decision, I have no say, I&#x27;m not your psychiatrist.  I comment on the situation that you described, that&#x27;s all.
