For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

tl;dr
~~Here's a summary:
Your simplistic and idiotic worldview, and your unwillingness to consider being wrong, is not the clever own you think it is
Maybe if you need simpler thoughts you can ask an AI to boil it down for you~~
You know what, I'm sorry, I'm getting overly defensive from all the crappy treatment getting heaped on me for merely trying to have some nuanced discussion. It occurs to me that you may not mean to be dismissive or condescending to the extent that warrants such a rude response from me. I won't delete my rudeness for posterity, but I do regret posting it.
That said, yes, my post is long, but truth is rarely simple. I am trying to stand up for what I believe is true, and I think that in my initial comment at least, I came at it in a very measured and polite way. When this is repaid with quips and one-liners and dismissive unthinkingness, it harms discourse for everyone. Sorry for contributing to that.
