It might be how it's written, but the way it works is people get shot for a bag of skittles.

Don't take it personally. The world is crazy right now and people (including me) get a little... defensive... from having to have more "I can't believe this is something I need to talk about" conversations than I think any of us ever anticipated. Looking at it again your word choice wasn't even off. Hope you're having a good day.
