Let us look at what happened / transpired on the thread.

healingme4me tried to help you. You asked for help and she tried to help you. She suggested video games. She also mentioned her son and his classmates, which made me assume that her son and his classmates enjoy video games.

So... what did you do in response healingme4me's posts?

Did you acknowledge her intention to help you? NO.

Did you thank her? NO.

Did you simply, neutrally state that you do not have video games? NO.

You made a strong negative judgment of people who play video games (which implied a judgment of healingme4me's son and his classmates). healingme4me spent her time posting, trying to help you, and in response received what you wrote - that her son and his classmates are, in your opinion, much more spoiled than you are.

So if this is how you interact IRL, no wonder your friends are too busy to hang out with you. And THAT, unlike your porn use, is hugely important for proper socialization.

Did healingme4me ask for your opinion on how spoiled people who play video games are? If I tell you that it is not idiomatic per SWE (Standard Written English) to say "I don't consider myself to be that spoiled." - you should say, instead, "I don't consider myself that spoiled." - in the context of this thread which is NOT about how well you use SWE, would you welcome my comment?
I did not imply that her son was spoiled. I'm just saying that if i were spoiled, I would have tons of video games. I just don't consider myself spoiled nor did i imply that her son was spoiled.
