Can you at least try to articulate why you believe this? When you make a statement like this with very few arguments, in response to a genuine question, it doesn’t matter if you feel the post you’re responding to is incredibly misguided or based on poor understanding. It’s simply condescending to respond this way.
No, I don’t think so. A short answer does not implicitly accuse the question of being stupid or misguided.
It was a simple direct question. I have a simple direct answer to it without much in the way of hedging or iterating through hands or anything like that.
If someone asks you “vanilla or chocolate?” and you’re a chocoholic, you answer with one word and not with a three-page essay on how and why your love for chocolate arose and developed.
Now your question of “why?” could easily lead to multiple pages but tl;dr would be that I like freedom, I don’t like the Ministry of Truth, and I think that power corrupts.
why you felt it was worthy?
I would offer a guess that the upvotes say “I agree” and not “this was the most insightful thing evah!” :-)
