Instead of taking the discussion straight to toxic tropes, how about assuming good faith, as the guidelines ask? Here's the full version:

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

They also ask you not to snark, and not to post flamebait. (And personal attacks, which you unfortunately crossed into in this thread, are right out.)
