The first point in the parent comment can be hard to make without coming off as chiding the original poster and others for what they choose to spend their free time thinking and writing about.
I don’t have any votes either way on the parent comment. Clear chiding would get a downvote from me, since people aren’t on the clock here, obviously this issue has struck a nerve with some people (doubtless amplified by other recent issues), it’s quite easy for those who want to move on to just ignore the thread, and telling people they should spend their free time on something one thinks is more important is poor form in my book.
