I'm sure this one won't make anyone angry.

John, I've been reading DF for 20 years and have always respected your insights, but I'm troubled by this take. The crux of your post is 'it's flawed, *but* there's lots of good content, so I'll keep using it' with no regard for the broader consequences stemming from Musk's ownership of the platform

If you personally want to continue using X, I have no big issue with that. But you're taking it a big step up from there; you're using your position to promote X to your readers in spite of everything you know about its history, who controls it, and the real harm it's caused to many people. Why?

Because it's just really really good! Oops! Did that make you angry? I should have put that at the beginning of my post!

But see, he told us that it won't make anyone angry. It was very clever. And we knew it might make someone angry but boy did he cut that off at the pass. With that clever headline.
