In the first part of the grandparent comment, I asked a couple of questions. I can’t possibly “figure out what you mean” in those cases, since they were questions about what you’ve done or haven’t done, and about what you think of something I asked.
In the second part of the grandparent comment, I gave arguments for why some things you said seem wrong or incoherent. There, too, “figuring out what you mean” seems like an inapplicable concept.
I think we’ve both gone far beyond our duty of effort to explain where we are coming from and what our models are.
You and the other moderators have certainly written many words. But only the last few comments on this topic have contained even an attempted explanation of what problem you’re trying to solve (this “enforcement of norms” thing), and there, you’ve not only not “gone far beyond your duty” to explain—you’ve explicitly disclaimed any attempt at explanation. You’ve outright said that you won’t explain and won’t try!
This seems like an odd response.
