I think it reflects poorly on you that a āhighly-upvotedā comment was a stronger update towards āthe Forum at large is wrongā more than āyou were wrongā or even āyou should change how you communicateā.
On the object level: I read your post, and like ~half of people who reacted to it, disagreed with it; specifically I think it has narrative-like qualities, and regardless of how much we quibble over the precise point at which text can be reasonably called ānarrativeā, I thought it was non-evidence-based argumentation, which you were arguing against.
I think in general it is bad forum etiquette to āsnitch tagā like this. I think youāre misrepresenting my comment and raising it in an irrelevant context.
In the context of my post, the term ānarrative argumentā was really clearly used to refer to fictional stories embedded in a text as part of its argument, such as AI2027ā²s short story or the parables in Y&Sās book. My text simply does not have that.
By completely misunderstanding even basic concepts such as ānarrative argumentā, your comment was just a snarky jab and had little value. It didnāt comment the actual content of my text, instead, and largely unjustified by any real analysis, it tried to āget back at meā by blaming me for things I blame others for, like non-evidence based argumentation and narrative arguments.
Since I find it difficult to believe that you really donāt understand what a narrative argument is, I reasonably count a high probability for you simply acting in bad faith.
I donāt know if āsnitchingā you is allowed or not, and I apologize for the moderators if itās not, but I think using examples of bad behavior is relevant in discussions of what is allowed on the forum.
