8. Often, super snark is an expression of hostility. Your first reply to me was dismissive.

If you are comfortable in your ability to discuss, why use snark?

The fact that you label reform measure "deform" puts you in the same league, conversationally, as the likes of Michael Savage, who presumes to be an educated man but lowers himself to a middle school level by turning people's names into mockeries.

If you think all reform is deform, then you suffer from the kind of broadbrushing that never leads to progress.

Maybe it's not hostility that makes you write snide and unproductive replies, maybe it's fear or insecurity.

I really don't care but it's a curiosity, this wanting to shit on other people's productive posts.
