| May 10, 2016 at 23:26 | comment | added | user48138 | @djechlin I respect that you don't feel preached at when others tell you that. However, given the amount of upvotes on the comment I have made, I'm not the only one that feels that it could be interpreted as being preached at, and that's not something to say when you want to adopt the 'whatever' attitude. Using the 'you' opens the door for debate, and the 'bully' might feel picked on. Again, this is only in the context where one wants to adopt the 'whatever' attitude. | |

It also tells the person making the comment that 1) you're not ashamed or embarrassed by their comment and 2) points out that they're criticizing something they haven't tried, in a friendly manner. | |
