I just wanted to share some neat stone carving things that were found in Pompeii, not debate about the grammar of the article.
Then. Don’t.
Those walls of text are all you, buddy.
While you’re at it, don’t put words in my mouth. I did not say the title was written by AI, I asked if it was or not. It has a “forrest for the trees” style to it commonly attributed to AI-generated writing.
Also, stop framing my saying “short people” as a pejorative instead of the descriptor I clearly used it as.
I clicked on this post because, as a child, I was infatuated with Pompeii for some reason. I had a giant color picture book detailing the history of the people and the culture leading up to the disaster. The title here made me “What?” In my head so many times I thought I’d see if anyone else had the same reaction. Doing so stepped on a lot of toes, apparently.
I feel like I’m coming off poorly. I thought we were just chatting, but you seem upset. For clarity, in case this is what offended, I felt like I was being petty and semantic here.

Yeah, I have a bad habit of being verbose in these.

My bad. It was not my intention to sound accusatory. I’ll change the wording.

I’m confused here. I’m in no way framing it that way. How else would you like me to say it? My argument was that “nearly life-sized” could mean a scaled replica vs a 1:1 carving of a shorter person. I wasn’t saying that it was socially incorrect to call them short.

That’s pretty neat. We were really big on Egypt in my household for some reason. I did see some TV specials about Pompeii, but as a kid it always spooked me.

I thought we were just chatting. My toes are fine. You did make a pretty bold assertion out of the gate, and that does sometimes invite discussion. Sorry if you felt attacked or anything.
I didn’t say this earlier, but thanks for the article about the rock relief carving. I figured carving is carving, and the medium wouldn’t matter. That’s what madee take a second look at the photos and see the maybe seam and stuff.
