They're providing context, not flexing.


sort by: page size:

They're not stating a moral judgment.

This isn't ironic, they aren't questioning or otherwise probing motives

It's the complying not the requiring.

Those aren't taking the piss out of the topic.

I don't disagree with this more nuanced framing.

They did not have a negative experience, this is not what's written.

Critiquing the framing doesn't mean they didn't understand.

This article is status signaling, not critique.

They are ambivalent, but the headline isn’t.

It's not an accusation.

It's not an implication. It directly states that.

That's the intent, not the problem.

That's not the subtext, that's exactly the point. I don't agree with it, but it's not a hidden message.

They aren't arguing that at all.

They’re not coaxed nor coerced

It isn't forced.

The thing to remember is they aren't asking you to adjudicate what they are doing.

There's a way to point this out without the hostility.

> you're issues

They are people. They are not issues.
