You might just have to go with the long form. People are accustomed to pretty bad debating behavior. It'd be great if they could be charitable enough to consider alternate possibilities in a venue like LW, but empirically they often do not.
To be fully clear, I didn't intend an attack on you. I've upvoted your top post; it raises an important concern, and the way it's expressed makes perfect sense if you don't confuse it with similarly-phrased fallacious implications.
But even I downvoted it before I thought about it for five seconds, and I felt I had some insight to share into why that was such a common response.
That's OK. I feel that a slight troll aroma tends to improve the complexity of the flavour :-D
