Bad faith argument that could only be made by not reading further into the article or cutting the quote off before it answers the exact question/argument posed here.
The article itself was in fact delightful once I zoomed out a bunch.
Have you seen cases where timing mattered more than the message itself?
>Fletcher Munson: [sunnily, on homecoming] Generic greeting!
>Mrs. Munson: [warmly] Generic greeting returned!
>[they kiss and chuckle at each other]
>Fletcher Munson: Imminent sustenance.
>Mrs. Munson: Overly dramatic statement regarding upcoming meal.
>Fletcher Munson: Oooh! False reaction indicating hunger and excitement!

Group 1: A thinly veiled straw man that buckets everyone I disagree with, along with an attempt to appear as if I'm being unbiased
