I used the word interpret to convey that I did not interpret something you said in a certain way, I did not use it to imply that I did not interpret things in general. That was clear from my post and I'm surprised you appear to have missed it. Either English is not your first language or you are so eager to pick apart the sentences that I write that you are misunderstanding what they say.

If you have a serious question or something you want to talk about I'm down but I don't care for arguing over semantics.

I think its just that people on 4chan frequently try to be contrarian because it scratches some psychological itch for themselves, and since they associate kind, gentle and open-minded people with eastern religion/philosophy then naturally the way to be most opposite and contrarian to that is to be rude, disrespectful, demeaning and proudly ignorant.

It is possible, I don't know. It is also possible that me or any or us could have reached that stage or even higher in previous births. Ultimately I think it isn't really that useful to focus on labels like that as it can easily become a thing people develop an ego over or use as a comforting thought that doesn't deal with whatever is making them uncomfortable.
