Ex: "You didn't phrase things in a way that convince me that you're committed to cause/belief X, even though all your actions say you do"

Another example is "both your words and actions show you are committed to cause X, but NOT phrased in the way I like, so I'll focus on that"

Not the case of "this clearly committed person doesn't speak my language so I don't understand," but rather "this bothers me stylistically"

"this bothers me stylistically" means "i run shit around here and the way you can tell is that you'll be talking like me"
