Well, it's not like I just showed up and started saying these things. I have written dozens, if not hundreds of comments in threads that dealt with these topics in the past, and I speak from experience. (In fact, before I understood the reality of the situation, I was even saying similar things myself to more experienced people who suggested that such topics are best avoided.) Unfortunately, it simply doesn't work -- you can either ignore the happy death spirals or try to inject some reality and almost inevitably cause bitter controversy and bad blood.
