If you read the poster's comment history, they claim expertise in the field (see the comment immediately preceding this one). And they did reply to a comment containing "Please tell me and show me otherwise." The post might or might not be a load of nonsense, but I think you can leave gustavo-fring to be offended on his own behalf.

I'm not sure where you're coming from here. I also have OCD (though I'm not overly sure that's relevant), and found the reply to be perfectly reasonable (particularly given the "Please tell me and show me otherwise" part of the parent comment).

It's just very, very smug.

It's not wrong but it's very pedantic and not considerijng that the reason I didn't spell it all out and cite a bunch of sources is because the entire subthread is besides my main point. That shit is exhausting.

Not to make an argument from authority but having dealt with OCD and a lot of caregivers over a decade and having been in graduate level academia for a decade I know a little more about scientific research and how it ideally works than the poster gives any credit for. It's just very rude and not half as smart as it thinks it is.

Yes, I know what a literature review is. I mean, in their words, come onnn.

I don't really see where you're coming from, here. It seemed well-thought-out and informative to me, and from someone who claims to be a mental health professional.

Perhaps apply the principle of charity and avoid attributing a negative/dismissive/argumentative tone when maybe there wasn't one?
