Thanks for pointing that out. Sorry for adding to an offtopic, flamewar inspiring subthread. I hoped providing some sources for the GP's comment might spur on some more productive discussion and i genuinely thought the other commenter was asking in good faith about sources for discussion. I was also genuinely curious as to the harsh reaction

I do see now the flamewar aspect to it and didn't really stop to consider the initial topic of the article when I responded. I was just trying to focus on the actual topic of the commenter's statement and kinda got lost in searching up articles. I was hoping to maybe bring some data and information into the discussion that might steer it in a more productive direction.

It is an issue that could productively be discussed. It seems it didn't end up being the case though and probably wasn't the most appropriate comment thread to do so on.

Thanks—I appreciate that! We all underestimate how provocative our posts will end up being. I struggle with this daily.

I think it's because in our mind, the comment is blended together with the intention behind the comment, which is usually benign. We take our intent for granted and assume it will come across, but of course the people who read it have no direct access to that intent, and often it doesn't come across.
