On a mildly serious note, I firmly believe that if fighting wasn’t so criminalised in academic and professional society, we would see a lot less school shootings

This is sounding like a purge movie.... fighting wasn’t specifically criminalized in the academics/professional for GA and TX

Omg. Wth is going on?! Sorry, but this brought much needed levity to my day. I’m so tired of how seriously people take this stuff. OP I’d be confused too. Agree with others that the incongruous response likely means that the level of frustration has less to do with you and more to do with other stressors. Or maybe SM was trying to de-escalate through confusion/poorly executed humor (a Michael Scott move?).
Staying tuned because I’ve got to see how this one ends…🤦🏼‍♀️🍿
