If you think this is ragebait then block me, problem solved. That is what I said at the beginning. I am not posting these memes for you, I don't care about you at all. There are people who use this service and instance that agree and like these memes. They're funny. This is for them. If you are getting enraged online, sign the fuck out.
I do think that presenting your critics as cartoon caricatures of thought police is bait, yes. But I don't particularly care that you're doing it - I'm just pointing out that a culture of antagonism isn't the same thing as a culture of persecution, and that you engage in extremely similar behavior to the people you yourself are demonizing. You're characterizing me as mad about this and I'm truly not (nor have I indicated I even feel particularly strongly about it), but you're still basing your responses in this interaction as though I am. Why assume that?
