Whatever the merits of the piece, the purpose of writing can be something beside the delivery of 'points'. It's perfectly fine if you don't like that but there's not much conversation to be had about the fact that you don't.

- anigbrowl 3y agoThe thing is the title is making an argument, but then the reader is subjected to a long meandering personal discourse. OK if you're on a long journey and want to be diverted, deeply annoying if you are sufficiently interested by the headline to want to engage with the argument. I used to admire this style of writing but as I've gotten older I have less patience with it; I'd rather just read a novel.
