From reading some of your comments here and on Reddit: your tone hurts your credibility.



I find this argument comes most often from people who already are so far down the rabbit hole, I had no chance of convincing them of anything anyway. Not always. But often.

If you read the reddit comments, you'd also see ones like this:

-https://www.reddit.com/r/DepthHub/comments/gogzk0/u_shibbole...

all praising my tone and how I "kept my cool" despite the trolls and sealions. A few similar comments here as well. Sorry it wasn't to your taste. Better luck next time I guess


Or to be fair, I should say: I will try harder next time, I guess.

You can't please all of the people all of the time, but you can certainly make an effort. Right now I don't really see what specific criticisms you're making other than that you don't like the way I write.

Please, let me know! Thanks
