One issue is certainly that nobody wants to engage with people that
instantly try and make this personal, or just uncomfortable in general.
Then it's better to focus on other things that are more rewarding and
pleasant, nobody needs extra drama in their life. I sure as hell don't.
And unfortunately I find that your postings most often degenerate to
that. Which is a shame, because there's good stuff in a lot of these
patches, but it's often not worth the time/energy investment because of
it.
