For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target federated instances' admins or moderators.

I legit think it's this! You're always so calm and composed and you treat the comments you're arguing against with such respect, more than they often deserve. I think it makes it really hard for people to argue against you in a compelling way, and it pisses people off that their arguments look so bad in comparison to yours
I've had similar thoughts, and I find it really funny that it provokes such hatred. The reason I do it is so that none of my points can be dismissed due to their delivery, that's also why I give a lot of leeway for what others say and focus on the points at hand no matter how rudely they're given. Nia Frome's On Dialectics, or How to Defeat Enemies is a great essay on why that works well.
