I see I have written poorly. I understand you’re against the meme and I have no problem with anything you’ve written about your conduct or attitudes. My apologies, it seems I have come across as combative when I was aiming for “musing collaboratively”.
I think perhaps I had misread you as saying your motivation to combat the memes was reduced if that combat reinforced clueless entitlement. I thought that was an unfortunate result. Entitlement always annoys me, but I try to be explicitly suspicious of decisions I make out of annoyance, and I thought that was interesting in a more general case as well as for our subtopic. Perhaps I’ve been projecting; perhaps I shouldn’t try writing on LW when jetlagged.

Ahhhh, okay. No, just that I don’t feel it’s necessary or helpful to signal my own participation to someone making such a demand, compared to signalling that they’re being inappropriate.

Not a bad policy at all.
