I agree that they're BS, but they're common and pernicious, and as such worth a proper response, frustrating as that might be.

Fair enough. I got that impression because of some other comments by the same person in this thread, but you're right, I might be reading into things.
- coldtea 9y agoWell, you might be right too (I haven't noticed that the parent had multiple comments about it). Just that I find a question like "why do you feel so strongly about X" can be infuriating, and make the other indeed feel strongly (when they were just casually writing their opinion with some strong words before). Kind of like "relax" can make someone angry ("I AM relax") when they were perfectly relaxed before.
