Did you understand the comment you replied to as me being negative or did you reply to the wrong comment?

I'm well aware that I'm a cunt at times, but I'm having a hard time seeing that in this instance.

My intention was to be celebratory towards something I found truly elegant.

(Maybe it is common to use "&" to write "etc" or anywhere where you'd normally use "et" but afaik I have never seen it before.)
