"With fashion" or "in a fashion"?
In the following sentence:
"People that respond to my post with extreme retarded fashion are not welcome"
Am I right in saying that 'with extreme retarded fashion' is incorrect?
Could you break down why it's wrong as a confirmation for me? Thanks in advance.

Asking a yes/no question in the negative will often be answered as though you had asked in the positive.
Aren't you going to Susan's party then?
No, I'm not going. (Much more common than "Yes, you're right that I'm not going.")
