Not sure if I'd use the same descriptions so pointedly, but I can see what they mean.
It's perfectly fine to link for convenience, but it does feel a little disrespectful/SEO-y to not 'continue the conversation'. A summary in the very least, how exactly it pertains. Sell us.
In a sense, link-dropping [alone] is saying: "go read this and establish my rhetorical/social position, I'm done here"
Imagine meeting an author/producer/whatever you liked. You'd want to talk about their work, how they created it, the impact it had, and so on. Now imagine if they did that... or if they waved their hand vaguely at a catalog.
I've genuinely been answering the question "what if the labs are training on your pelican benchmark" 3-4 times a week for several months at this point. I wrote that piece precisely so I didn't have to copy and paste the same arguments into dozens of different conversations.
Oh, no. Does this policing job pay well? /s Seriously: less is more, trust the process, any number of platitudes work here. Who are you defending against? Readers, right? You wrote your thing, defended it with more of the thing. It'll permeate. Or it won't. Does it matter?
You could be done, nothing is making you defend this (sorry) asinine benchmark across the internet. Not trying to (m|y)uck your yum, or whatever.
Remember, I did say linking for convenience is fine. We're belaboring the worst reading in comments. Inconsequential, unnecessary heartburn. Link the blog posts together and call it good enough.

If you want a summary you can have your ai assistant summarize the link.
Woooooosh, please see if an LLM can help you. I'm not getting paid for this
Hell, I would consider myself graced that simonw, yes, THAT simonw, the LLM whisperer, took time out of his busy schedule to send me to a discussion I might have expressed interest in.
> send me to a discussion I might have expressed interest in
No, no, remember? Points to the blog you were already reading! Working diligently to build a brand: podcast, paid newsletter, the works.

No, when did I say that?
It isn't clear what you said.
You asserted a pattern of conduct on the user simonw:
> I think constantly replying to everybody with some link which doesn't address their concerns
Then claimed that conduct was:
> condescending and disrespectful.
I am asking you to elaborate to whom simonw is condescending and disrespecting. I don't see how it follows.
