Those people were the weird ones, then. This is a bun.
If you do weird things, like mistaking muffins for bread rolls, I’m gonna call you weird. It’s not a personal attack, it’s an accurate description based on what I can see. You seem to have been misinformed, but are also trying to explain my own culture to me incorrectly, so I downvoted you. I think that’s fair.
You’re here trying to explain my own culture to me, and you’re not even right about it, and you’re upset I’m upset about it? Is the phrase “personal attack” just your way of demonising the consequences of your own actions?
Sigh, ok one more message. If you said “I think you are incorrect, we call this …” that would be fine and polite manners. But you didn’t do that. You went for a personal attack. Yes calling people weird is a personal attack. Ok I’m out.
I think you are incorrect, an accurate description is not a personal attack.
Either you referred to what we call “buns” as “muffins” (and ate them without anything in them), which is weird, or you thought we called muffins “buns”, which is also weird. And you were sticking to your guns while american-splaining to a brit about british culture (without even being right), which is weird and kinda offensive.
I’ve had enough of people hiding their bad behaviour behind a wall of “please be civil”. I will be as uncivil as I like in calling out bad behaviour, and I will think very poorly of anyone who thinks I shouldn’t.

That’s a dinner roll. Now show us what a roll is over there, this is interesting!
To me, they’re synonyms. Buns, rolls, baps… There’s a ton of other terms for it, too, but those are the ones I use.

Oh, it means that in England too. Jokes are made a-plenty.
Nice. :)
My last message to you is that acting like that is a personal attack and you shouldn’t do that IRL or online.

Calling someone weird is a personal attack.
Saying that what they said is weird is not. Attack the argument, not the person.
