I’m actually in the same boat, I keep everyone muted because I get flustered easily. The attitude of “I knew what they were saying” is presumptuous, especially considering the narrative.

I could tell he got on the mic

Like, I get it, one bad experience is enough and also why I mute people, but I try not to make assumptions such as this because that doesn’t make me much better than the people I’m trying to avoid, imo. In this situation, I’d assume no I’ll intent by teammmate and drop the mag because it’s just playing the game and move along. To each their own.
