Talk to the OP if you want to dive into that rabbit hole. People responded with non-confrontational, thoughtful responses expressing their own opinions on the matter and all we got in return was "good for you" and "k.", aka the same condescending, trolling bullshit he's known for.

And the conversation(s) devolved from there. No one's fault but his own.
