I think the burden of research and citations can also be put back onto you as well. You can fully research this information yourself - it’s trivial.

Sorry, that’s not how this works. Burden of proof is not new, nor is it complicated. Thus:

> what may be asserted without evidence may be dismissed without evidence.

It’s trivial to find sweeping and unsubstantiated opinions. It’s trivial to find arguments on both[1] sides[2]. Why should I trust either? Either way, what evidence trivially and unquestionably supports “immense harm”?

This argument has been going in circles for 2+ years, it’s not like I haven’t seen more rigorously defended and less hyperbolic opinions before. That stuff, I’ll consider. What you and OP are doing is just noise.

It's not clear, do you believe that firing people from their jobs did not cause them great harm, or do you just believe that that harm was justified?

It's clear to us all that you're not here in good faith.

Nah, there are plenty of others in this thread on the same page as me here.
That there are others who share your agenda doesn't imply or support the notion that your agenda is in good faith.
You've at least stopped speaking for everyone else in the thread, but you've simply arrived at the same point these threads tend to reach, where you stop addressing arguments and fall back to simply impugning other's intelligence and motives.
