As a raging autist, I’d like to invite you to shut up!
This is a person sharing something they find interesting on an online discussion forum, they’re not a professional author at a reputable outlet, it’s okay for the meaning of the post title to also be part of the discussion.
You have no evidence at all that they are NT, much less that your neurodivergence is why you’re being so obtuse.
I like to be able to understand other people, neurotypicals included, but if this isn’t how they would interpret this headline, I’d like to know how they actually do
Then you should simply post a comment asking for clarification, like I said earlier. Instead you started berating and insulting them and started a long annoying pointless argument with multiple people insisting they used language wrong, their sentence is incomprehensible to native English speakers, and now a new goalpost is that their language wasn’t accessible enough for you.
It’s plenty accessible, it’s a forum, you can clarify all confusions without ever needing to accuse them of intentionally using malicious misleading tactics from the initial interaction.
if they interpret it differently, then they’re dumb and not worth your time
Nobody made that argument. You’re dumb for insisting that despite being a minority who interpreted something differently than intended, it’s the speaker’s fault and malicious intent.
It’s a communication forum, just have a conversation brother.

Isn’t that what this entire thread is?
accuse them of intentionally using malicious misleading tactics
I never implied intent. Or rather, never intended to. If there’s a particular comment I made that did, do let me know. My communication skills are perpetual work in progress.
This is where you went from “I’m not sure if you meant it the way I initiated l interpreted it” to “I was right all along, you’re intentionally spreading misinformation”.
That I did. I wasn’t aware that the comment implied any intent. And that’s on me, which is the entire point in trying to communicate. Even if I didn’t intend to imply malice, I still did, and it’s my responsibility as the speaker to communicate better so that the reader actually interprets the text as I meant it to be interpreted.

That wasn’t my comment
Ha, and so it isn’t. You squeezed right in to defend it though…
