Since your comment was entirely superfluous, I just replied in that same spirit.
caught between upvoting because you're right and downvoting because it's mean.
I don’t care if you don’t upvote me, but it wasn’t mean. The comment was literally superfluous. If anything, their comment was mean.
My comment was entirely meant as a jest because you have a silly username, I'm sorry that it came across as mean.
I was mainly just confused why you called my Caroline, when an actually silly joke like Bloody Norah would have made a lot more sense. Been waiting for someone to use that 🤭
Your comment did not come across as mean, I’m sorry I even said it like that; I was being hyperbolic to make a point. I was genuinely not trying to be mean to you either, as I was literally just having a goof replying back with a comment of equal superfluousness—again, not judgmentally or meanly? Is meanly a word?
I love that song “Alright Caroline”, presumably because they originally wrote it for the first or second album, but I’ve only just heard of it recently, so I’m like catching up. He says “Alright Caroline” like fifteen times in that song. It’s easy to get stuck in your head.
The subject matter of the song was not aimed at you, obviously, and I didn’t even look at your username. I’ll have to check out that link. Sorry!
I didn't even twig that it was a song honestly, but that makes sense. Thanks for the reply! No harm, no foul.
