In few paragraphs you managed to convert a rational conversation to a moral argument and, worse than that, a personal attack.

I am not the GP but this sort of "this is good"/"you are a bad person" litany is exactly what is off-putting to many people.

I won't even comment on "The real reason I asked was to get people on here to reveal what kind of progress they are against."...

And as for entertainment strong moral undertones are enemies of fun.

I don't understand the dichotomy between rational conversations and moral arguments. "Oh no, morality!" is such a ridiculous-but-common escape-hatch whenever you're having a debate about something that is even a tiny bit difficult.

Nothing is 100% objective-truth. Recognize this, and get over it.
