No, my objection is not about kindness to others. It’s more like I feel that the post is coming from an unhappy painful feeling that doesn’t realize that it’s unhappy, or that alternatives are in arms reach.
I think it is both. I said before why I think this idea is inaccurate. All human beings use words both for communicating facts and for other purposes, usually with a good deal of mixture. And of course some people are farther towards the side of communicating facts, and others farther towards other purposes, but there absolutely is not a division into two groups, fact communicators and other purpose communicators.
Would it be fair to say you don’t think the post is inaccurate so much as you think it is unkind?

So, more that it’s not so much inaccurate as it is coming from an unnecessarily unhappy place?
Yeah.
