Starting a comment with a put down like the parent did is not well-received by the community.

  I started mine by politely thanking for the sourcing and I still got downvoted. I think there are politically motivated downvoters on this topic.

    You have more reason to be "genuinely confused" than the parent, who I was responding to.

      The phrase “bringing facts to an opinion fight” is no more or less an “insult” than saying that your argument has no factual basis. People just don’t like to be told that they’re wrong, they really don’t like to be told so in a pithy way, and pearl-clutching provides an easy way to justify censorship.
