I don't care.

Much can (and should) be deduced about actual motives for commenting from an active denial of any desire for producing positive consequences or inducing correct beliefs in readers.

I do care. It bothers me (somewhat) when people I agree with end up supporting the opposite position due to poor social skills or terrible argument. For some bizarre reason the explanation that you gave here isn't as obvious to some as it could have been. And now it is too late for your actual reasons to be seen and learned from.
