Sometimes I can’t tell whether a question here is genuine and the author is interested in the answers, or whether they just copy-paste something to keep people busy. How am I supposed to approach that?

    Uhm, maybe my phrasing wasn’t the best. I meant how do I deal with that?

    Beyond simple proofreading and making sure you’ve expressed yourself clearly, you deal with it by not dealing with it. You can’t please everyone. Plus, some people have poor reading comprehension, some people are looking for any reason to start an argument, etc.

    Don’t drive yourself crazy by worrying about “perfect” phrasing. There’s no such thing, and even if there is, somebody somewhere would be happy to pick it apart anyway.

    You can only control your message. You can’t control how it will be received.
