Same here. And sometimes, I got downvoted and treated as an LLM — in the name of valuing the human.
To me, what matters is the will behind the words. Ideas and words themselves are cheap (this becomes clearer every day in the AI age) — they're almost nothing until they're executed and actually help someone.

Like code we write — it's dead text on a screen until it's running. And what we really care about is the running effect — and that is exactly the reason, the will, behind why we write the code in the first place.
I am choosing to believe this is satire. A+
Not a satire, this user was the reason I submitted a post asking for a policy only to find out it's already on the front page today.
> this user was the reason
Feeling sad I am 'the reason'. But that's ok.
> asking for a policy
It is always the same sad story. Someone learns a new name, gets trapped inside, and tries to escalate conflict. I will not call that 'open mind'.
The deeper reason is that there is no kindness — many really don't care about others who seem alien to them. They just hide that behind all kinds of names.
