You keep insisting on this, so I'll bite.

First: "I'm sorry you interpreted it that way" is a scummy, slithery, cunty thing to say, which confirms my earlier statement. This is not an actual apology, this is an accusatory statement which serves to remove all responsibility from yourself and place the blame squarely on the other person, as though you have done absolutely nothing wrong. Narcissists commonly use this tactic when "apologizing," and rarely do others use it, especially when the tactic is recognized, refuted (as I have previously done with you), only to have it brought up yet again. I would hypothesize that you are therefore a narcissist, which may explain why you are such a cunt.

To the second statement, I'll ask you something in response--if your post was purely factual and had no bias, slant, smear, or could otherwise be commonly understood to be an attempt at assassinating the character of the person you directed it towards, why would it have elicited such a strong condemnation from the community? I'd urge you to look at the votes on those two comments. Yours sits at around -150, with every response to it strongly condemning your comment (some version of "this is a shitty thing to say") garnering dozens of upvotes. The community clearly believes that what you said was incredibly toxic and out of line. Maybe you should ask yourself why that is, instead of trying to push that responsibility onto a third party?

But, I'll humor you with an answer anyway, just so you can't slither your way out of it again. The reason this is a scummy, cunty thing to say to someone is because, a) those subs are seen in some circles as the bottom of the barrel of reddit communities, and represent the far-right of the current global political spectrum. b) r/soccer being a primarily global subreddit, unfocused on the United States in particular, would probably view those subs as being far-right in general. c) it is therefore logical that the r/soccer community would in general think negatively about someone who shares the views of those subs. It follows that, d) you brought those subs up specifically because you intended for the r/soccer community to turn on that user and agree with the argument that you were making, based on his supposed ties to those subs. This backfired on you somewhat spectacularly, I might add. I hope it discourages you from doing similarly cunty things in the future, although I don't have much hope.

NPD is a very serious personality disorder and while there are no hopeless cases, you have to be willing to seek therapy if you would like to get better. Otherwise you will be asking yourself in 30 years why you have no friends or family that are willing to speak to you, and why you have to constantly post on reddit just to get self-validation because you have no human-human interactions anymore, and I don't think that's where you want to be. Be well.
