It’s mostly just this place. You find this tribalist response on a lot of topics here. Other instances aren’t as cultish. Good on you for arguing your case, but it falls on deaf ears. The discourse could use some improvements
Thanks. I have to adopt a different strategy. I even asked the people I was “debating” for advice on what I’m doing wrong and they still found reason to put me down. It could be the tone that’s inferred in written communication. I have no idea.
Your original comment is passive-aggressive. You decry that people aren’t doing their due dilligence but don’t actually provide your perspective on the story or give any indication that you’ve put in any effort of your own.

It depends. Some people have a hard time with it. I’ve met a few that always read the worst interpretation. It’s true though, there is no prosody in text (at least not the same as in spoken).

Maybe I’m just autistic, but IME tone is way easier to read in text than in person.
