Dude, this is exactly what you are doing. You have wandered into the fediverse that welcomes everybody and you are upset that not everybody agrees with you on everything and that justifies you being a dick. You are exactly the thing you are hating on in your head canon self righteous hero narrative.
Take this moment to reflect on your first instinctual mental response. Is it "but that's because I'm right"? Think about this and what it implies.
As a totally third party here, may I say thank you for your efforts at explanation? Far too often social media can be too aggravating for (some) people not involved in the initial conversation to even want to read (ahem Reddit cough; btw also fuck spez cough), and it is "room-temperature" comments like yours (i.e. not extremist/hyperbolic/aggravating) that allow people to keep going.
