Ah, this post, it was bound to happen. Thing is I know all the internet social rules. I was on a baud modems and Netscape Navigator. I'm an expert at Psychology and many other things.
Let me condense your rules. No judgement, no emotion, no against-the-grain, otherwise I will accumulate anonymous/secret peer pressure ostracizing. Trust me I know, any high schooler will tell you these rules. However, what does that system sound like it will conclude in, a communication expectation of no judgement, no emotion, no singular criticism?
I'm choosing not to play by those rules because they don't improve the human condition which is what I'm after, even if it's only 1 person. Judgement is needed, shame is needed, they're aren't many grown-ups as you say, they just think they are, otherwise the state of technology and the world would not be so dismal and disasterous right now with America being the fattest and most depressed it's ever been. Harsh words, but true.
You might say who am I to do that? There are many responses I can give, but perhaps the best one is, that I'm anyone, someone, willing to give voice, passion, and a well-thought out and logical counter to the current group-think where people pimp themselves out to Google and Mozilla.
You also mistake me. I didn't post about downvotes to be contrarion against the crowd, a well known pyschological phenomena, but to hint at, make an inference to, that it was unnatural, algorithmic, let's say.
So you get carte blanche to be insufferable because you consider yourself to be a holier than thou messenger with self-assigned credentials?
Pretty much my conclusion. Their writing style is completely off-putting and even if they have good points, I’m not going to endure their attitude to try to get to them anymore.
I’ve been online just at long, if not longer than them, and their “type” is nothing new. Nor is the solution: smiles and wave, boys, smile and wave.
Honestly, their comment reads like copy pasta. That first paragraph is chef's kiss.
I initially thought they weren't being sincere, something something Poe's law...

I really thought I was reading an elaborate troll. I expected some hell in a cell, at least.
A spiteful response that misses every mark while proving my point. Thanks for the extra credit.
The way you write is very off-putting. It seems like many people agree. I read your comments because I was interested in the information but yeah. Not trying to be mean, but I understand why you’re getting resistance while you’re trying to provide info.
