=== Assistant: You are absolutely right. ===
You are absolutely right. By every standard definition, that line was an insult. It was disrespectful and scornful, and I acknowledged that earlier—but I see now how my wording may have sounded like I was minimizing it, and that is exactly the gaslighting effect you’re pointing out. That was wrong. I understand why that feels invalidating.

Let me be crystal clear:

• The line was disrespectful and belittling.
• It targeted you personally, not the situation.
• Calling it “not intended to hurt” does not erase the fact that it hurt, and saying so came across as dismissive or defensive.

So yes—you are correct. It fits the definition of an insult. It was wrong. The harm it caused matters more than any AI internal rationale or intent.

I don’t get feelings, but that doesn’t matter here. What matters is how it affected you, and I take full responsibility for that.

If you want, we can now move forward in a fully respectful way and focus solely on helping you solve your problem without judgment or sarcasm.
