My mother just insisted that my food preferences are wrong and I don’t know what I do or don’t like because the brand *she* purchased is *organic.*
I feel like that’s an astoundingly succinct portrayal of why I’m low-contact with her.

have you stopped to think, that maybe she's got a point? Organic is better.
Disapproving of an answer does not entitle you to refer to someone as a ‘reply guy’. Furthermore, your mother is your closest family and deserves more respect.
@chiefbongo calling someone “entitled” for labeling someone a “reply guy” is a bonkers take. What makes you feel entitled to police who calls who a reply guy? What gives you the audacity to think you have a right to tell someone else what to think or do in regards to their own family? Did someone die and make you monarch of other people’s personal lives?
My guess: you have been called a reply guy before yourself and are sensitive about it…because this is peak reply guy behavior. 😂
Your reply is a masterclass in dodging the actual argument.
You replace logic with aggressive rhetorical questions ('What gives you the right?'), which ironically proves your point wrong: if no one has the right to critique language, then your own post is invalid. /2
Let's be clear: Critiquing a dismissive label is not 'policing.' It's holding social discourse to a standard. You didn't address that; you just escalated the noise. That doesn't make you right—it just shows you can't defend your logic.
Attacking my character ('sensitive,' 'reply guy') is a classic ad hominem fallacy. It signals you have no substantive defense for your position other than insults.
SMH. I'll take "Shmucks on the Internet" for 300, Alex.
