Nope.
I acknowledged that there are those who don't want to count it because "crazy white guy" but I wondered if the body count mattered because, as I said, even one person killed is too many. I was not "dismissive" of the event buy rather asked if others felt it was a "mass shooting" based on the amount of victims.
And you did answer my question about a bomb versus a shooting, so thank you for that. I know there have been multiple discussion on the board about when to call an attack a "terror" attack based on the definition by the bodies that investigate and handle such things.
I didn't say you were dismissive of the event, but rather the idea that this wasn't a mass shooting. As for it being snarky and what not, that's how it comes across.
