I think they were probably referring to this person as some kind of person who is awful to be around. Particularly, in this case, this person seemed to tell them they couldn’t be positive and say “good” or other comments... (per the Twitter thread). I don’t want to attribute specific meaning, but my that was my initial impression. Idk what this person meant, and it’s good to know the other meanings.
In terms of the preacher analogy; I think it’s a bit of a poor analogy. It’s more like, someone reporting something immoral or not working and us walking away covering our ears.
I have listened to preachers on the street. I do actually try to understand their world view. Once I do, I’m less likely to stop, perhaps. But rarely is that preacher discussing working conditions in my field. If they were, I’d be more likely to actively listen.
