If you're going to bet everything on a hypothesis, make sure you're not wrong.
I suspect your perceptions of how others on the forum behave has more to do with you than them.

Start a big long ignore list if that makes you feel better.
If an echo chamber is what you are looking for, this probably isn't it.
Again, it's odd to me that you equate a desire for mutual civility and politeness as an echo chamber
As a mod, can you please ban my account here. That will remove the temptation for me to continue posting.
Wow, that speaks volumes!

We’re not here to deal with your temptations.

Just recently the mods have decided that it's against the rules to give links to Library Genesis, the e-book sharing site that academics use. It's like Napster for poor graduate students.
If you include a link to it in one of your posts, wait to get scolded, and then do it again, they would ban you.
I'm not eager to see you get banned, but if that's what you want, that would do it.

This is your suggestion?
Not legal
Library Genesis is a website that provides free access to articles and books, mostly from academic publishers. However, it is not legal as it does not have the permission of the copyright holders12. Library Genesis has been sued by Elsevier, one of the largest academic publishers, for copyright infringement1. Downloading from Library Genesis is punishable by the law in many countries.

You’re encouraging other members to break the rules? Seriously??
