I disagree. That was what you were trying to do. You aren’t a troll, you are just quite bad at thinking so your posts often get downvoted. This reduces the likelyhood that you successfully propagate positions that are unfounded.
Yet another vague accusation that is not worth replying to.
I’m getting bored with this pointless flamewar. I can see that the mere breath of dissent causes the community to rise up in arms to nuke the dissenter. Great fun for you folk, I am sure—but I can’t see any good reason for me to play along with your childish games.

It’s really not. Nothing good can come of this exchange, least of all to you.

People ask questions. People get answers. You included.

No, you’re actually just wrong and absurdly so. Clippy doesn’t need you for his museum.
Great fun for you folk, I am sure
It isn’t wise for me to admit it but yes, there is a certain amount of satisfaction to be derived from direct social competition. I’m human, I’m male.

I agree (without, obviously, accepting the label). You are better off sticking to your position and finding ways to have your desired influence that avoid unwanted social penalties.
That’s pretty vague. Care to point to something specific?

Feel free to provide a better one.

Clippy museums. Right.

Upvoted for honesty. It’s far better to be aware of it than not to be.
Anyhow, I think you don’t really need to add anything more at this point; the thread looks properly wrapped up to me.
