Thanks for the equally respectful reply. I absolutely get it. As a fellow writer and human I myself have the tendency to react strongly. Heck my article is undoubtedly a strong reaction in itself!

You'e also right that shortform is most definitely not the biggest problem. The ones you mentioned have earned many writers an instant mute (and they won't see me unmute them either). I have nothing against people, I am not attacking them, not muting them, I am simply controlling the experience I get on this platform that grew with me for the last eight years.
