Condescending on the original comment was because the authors could have asked any farmer and would get an explanation of what is happening.

Condescending on a response was because a guy didn't even bother to read my comment and was putting stuff in my mouth that I didn't say. And also because uses condescending language (like "hilariously absurd") when clearly wrong.

Do I think people should be nice to each other? Yeah, I do. But I also believe my self-imposed obligation to being nice to you is conditioned on you following minimum rules. I am not expecting much, really. Like don't say I wrote something which I did not. Or put a minimum effort when writing an article if you expect kind response. If you don't do it, I reserve my right to respond about it the way how I feel.

I believe requiring everybody to be nice to everybody else in every possible situation is not a good way to have an advanced civilisation. I think there was a Black Mirror episode to that effect.

Whatever. Just don't be condescending

The problem is they are not just condescending, but also just plain wrong.

Oh yeah, obviously. It's all a bit embarrassing. But easiest to get one message across at a time.
