Have been working my way through this author's essays, thought this one was a unique observation.

I completely agree.

I totally respect that people hate every inch of it or are blown away by it. There are plenty of arguments for either sides.

What I don't respect is both what you mention, but also the poor manners and aggression in discussion about this. Here in the fediverse it's mainly the anti crowd going ballistic but elsewhere I've seen proponents be rude as well.

I'm very passionate about many things, things that I believe would make the world better if more people agreed with me, but that doesn't make me go into every thread that mentions meat-eating or car-driving to throw a hissy fit. Because not only will no-one ever change due to someone harassing them, but also it's fucking rude and not how I want to live my life.

Obviously I'm in this thread throwing a hissy fit about hissy fits but you know, don't tolerate intolerance etc...

"people that disagree with me are by definition throwing a hissy fit"

Not at all, I often agree with their reasoning, just not the rude and pointless comments.
