  • My advice was just to express your concern in a calm and friendly way. If you’re being too aggressive, anyone will automatically become defensive and won’t take you seriously - that’s what’s happening. If you want to have any chance for this to be addressed, you have to make it clear that you’re on their side, not an enemy.

    I mean, look at this: “If you have read nothing your opinion is invalid” - do you see how aggressive this sounds? “Your opinion is invalid”, that’s just hurtful, you’ve basically made yourself my enemy. But I’m not your enemy, I’m on your side. You even quoted something I said in the OP.

    It’s not just what you say, it’s how you say it.
