> they also got me reported to HR by the manager of the XROS effort for supposedly making his team members feel bad

This is madness. The safe space culture has really gone too far.

A meeting with HR is not madness. No one got maimed or died, or even lost work, seemingly. Some people exchanged words.

Cool off.

The only reason you want me to "cool off", is because you feel bad just interacting with somebody expressing a polite, strong opinion. Online. On the other side of the world. With text.

This is exactly the madness I'm talking about.

Case in point.

No, your comment was potent nonsense. It raises no feelings in me other than contempt towards you personally.

And me saying cool off is madness? You must live in a mad, mad world. Good luck going forward.
