When you hold everyone's hands, you coddle them. Either they get it or they don't. The rest can fuck off. I'm also on the campaign against /s.
The way I see it, if you say something and others dont get it, that is more on you for failing to communicate clearly than on others for not understanding. At the very least, you accept any potential consequences of being misunderstood (getting into pointless arguments, being viewed poorly etc) if you opt to intentionally make your meaning ambiguous with something objectionable.
We see things differently, then. Maybe between the two of us, nothing much will change either way and we can both be equally uneffective.
