You have a point when the situation is professional workspace communication. I'm able to code switch and drop idioms out of my language because e. g. "that's a home run" doesn't make sense if you're not American and have played baseball. But we're on a very nerdy entertainment website. It's not that I'm big and mighty it's that I hate having to dumb down discussion. This is why I call out people for throwing around words like scam to mean generically bad but not actually a scam and you pay for something that wasn't delivered. If you pay for something and you get what was ordered and it works, but the website to order on made it painful to make the order that's not a scam!

Poe's law exists but I'd rather pull up in discussion and intellect because I want to believe that people are smarter than we assume they are, in this day and age.
