No worries. Yeah it's thought provoking. Reminded me of some hard sci-fi from Neal Stephenson, Kim Stanley Robinson, Dan Simmons, Vernor Vinge. Etc. in a good way. Those authors generally are harder(ish) sci-fi and kinda try to stay in the rhelm of scientifically, accurate/plausible story lines.

I personally try to assume positive intent. Though reading up on someone helps me understand where they're coming from, when I too don't have voice or face to reference.
