"Avoid false equivocation. Making generalized statements about a person or groups of people almost never goes well. Rather than making blanket statements like "all X are Y", make an argument for why "X has some attributes of Y" and present it for discussion."
As for provocation, it is described here:
"Add some discussion to your post. Rather than just posting a link and your opinion, try to encourage discussion. Ask whether people agree or disagree, pose questions, ask for clarification from people rather than assuming something. In short, be open about discussing a subject rather than being provocative from the get go."
My bold.
The OP post itself does nothing of what was bolded. So by this definition, it was "provocative from the get go."
What am I misunderstanding here?
And I added bold of my own.
