I think your meta description of your post does not match the
substance of your past, really. There does not seem to be much on the
big picture, and far more on hectoring other people.

You seem to have a problem differentiating between understanding
something and not thinking it silly or worth dismissing.

Again, your description of your previous posts seems somewhat
more flattering than the posts themselves. Subtle points of judgement
while continuing to hector away on other people's lack thereof does not
seem to fit.

I'd be less irritated were your posts less condescending. If
you truly want a conversation, get off the high horse. Other people
would then not get a crick in their necks talking to you.
