Things have gotten better and progress has been made from times past, it just seems worse now because we have more access to information. We’ve come far, and have further to go!

    That never worked out for me. People feel attacked regardless. They might not comment (in any meaningful way) as they have no way of reflecting on my argument, but they still downvote.

      Maybe it didn’t work out previously - I have no idea what you did or the context of those cases - but I can tell you with certainty that what you did today didn’t work either, so I’m not sure what to say man. In addition, I see no downvotes, but I’m on Kbin so may be simply not seeing them across instances.

      You’re free to not be upfront that’s your prerogative. But lashing out at folks for incorrectly connecting the dots you’re laying out isn’t really accomplishing anything. You’re also being very hostile/bristle-y which will inevitably engender a similar response.

      Either way it’s neither here nor there. Ignore me or don’t! Just trying to be helpful.
