Yes it. You are not the arbiter of what the heart of the debate is.

I am freely able to set the tone and make arguments wherever I see fit in responding

Sure, but it's obvious that many don't agree with your views.

I am not sure the point of your comment. Do you have anything to add to the discussion?

My parent comment has driven alot of valuable discussion (other than your comment)

Perhaps you find the replies to bait 'valuable.'

You literally co-authored a paper on how online communities handle conflict, and yet here you are generating a textbook example for your own citations. At least you’re staying on-brand.

I didn't co-author it, I just think people should read it. Impressive projection, though.
