I have somewhat more respect for the substance of your views than for the intemperate and largely counterproductive ways in which you choose to express them.

'Productivity' must be considered relative to my utility function

Based on previous evidence, this seemed to have a negative term for potentially inflammatory language that is unnecessary to making the commenter's substantive point.
