The part where you say "it is absurd to suppose" when it isn't made clear in plain English what it is that is absurd. However I mostly included the statement about derogatory comments in reference to your other comments.

Perhaps a better term than "technical jargon" would be "convoluted grammar." I pointed out specific examples of phrasing I found unpleasant to read in my original reply.

Also someone else may have pointed this out but the general policy on lesswrong is not to vote on agree/disagree but on this comment was worth reading/was not worth reading. Saying you are not interested in upvotes is essentially saying you are not interested in contributing to the community. If you don't want to explain yourself in a friendly and accessible way then you have no obligation to, but I think you will be the one who misses out.
