your analysis is not full of backhanded compliments at all wtf is this person saying? this stems from an issue that anon has because they tie intelligence or morality or a persons worth to their language skills. THEY interpreted you saying something as you saying hes bad, you literally never said he is bad at all. and again somebodys skills in a language is completely morally neutral and does not say anything about a persons intelligence any of the members could know 20 words in a language or 2000 and it would not change anything about their worth or intelligence. there is nothing wrong with analyzing and talking about someones language its incredibly interesting from a linguistic and language learning perspective.

!!! like im saying if your biggest takeaway from me going “ej does a,b,c. nc does x,y,z. this could be because [insert a recontextualisation of experiences, environment, anecdotes, things/behaviours theyve shown themselves]” is that im taking a jab at or undermining them, then you might need to look inwards at whatever unconscious bias you have that tells you certain behaviours ring “unintelligible”, “incapable”, “negative”. cause i certainly dont know about you prev anon but i definitely never made such connections
