I don't find it annoying. There's just no there there for me to engage with. I just write what's interesting to write.

I'm not saying they don't or that I set out lie or confuse or troll. Truth just isn't a special concern above others.

rf posts can be ineffective i.e. fail to shift perception, but can't really be misunderstood anymore than an apple can

But people can misunderstand *your purpose* in writing the posts (i.e., that you're simply aiming to shift perception)
