It also was more sensible advice in the days when you had to open a reply and directly quote it. If you dismissed it, better chance nobody let it grow and it withered away because less would see it. Once phpbb boards and Twitter came in, couldn't do that anymore.

You have to wonder just how much internet anger is just people taking something at face value/not actually reading something before voicing their opinion.

I'm a jerk because I disagree with you?

No you're a jerk because you said "this is a really stupid take" without actually reading anything else I wrote. Pretty much as standard a jerk thing that a jerk can do.
