Given that his words clearly contradicted what you would expect when discussing optimization, I understand you... I had to read them three times to be extra sure what I was seeing was a disrespectful roleplay attempt (if this person was not talking about optimization, I would’ve had nothing to say). I also could have been more explicit on my part in that by “bad” I intended “bad optimizer(s)”.

Main point is, I worry that positive-change ideas could struggle to gain traction if their advocates have a rep for biting.
I can understand, and I apologize if my unnecessarily heated/loaded remarks towards this person made you or whoever else reading this thread uncomfortable. I won’t take back what I’ve put out already, but I could have worded them differently, and I agree that given the purpose of this thread I should have been more tolerant towards (disrespectful) people like this.
