Imagine, if you will, that it's a necessity for a healthy internet forum that people not be performatively obtuse in order to score points. That forum might continue to exist, but it would stop being a fun place to hang out.

Interesting. One of the replies below sets the tone, the others follow. It’s like giving permission to everyone else.

Amazed you’re continuing with this bit tbh.

Or, and here's a thought...maybe you set the tone.

Whether you meant it to or not, your post sounded snide and arrogant.

No I didn’t, and I’ve been entirely civil. Even if you do choose to read it that way that the responses break the guidelines and go against the spirit of the site.
