Have you considered maybe your "participation" is just insufferable even if it weren't blatantly bad faith?

I say! Someone managed to outcringe fedoras! Jolly well done, that chap.

The advice is wank, from people who don't know jack about this. And yes, I know - I don't, either. That is why I don't try to answer questions on hugely complicated fields I don't know. Almost nobody even considered posting a source for anything and that is a huge red flag in a question that is basically about science.

Given that the advice is off-topic, wrong, potentially risky or some combination, I am not wrong about the general sentiment. If you wanted me to phrase it some other way, maybe you could've been more, uh, constructive.

After all, commenting “this is the pure dietary sugar of discussions” and then walking away is the pure dietary sugar of discussions.

Holy crap, don't get your dietary advice from this place apparently.

Bottom? This is par for the course.

Depending on what you mean by respect and opinion, yes. If you're discussing an opinion then someone is probably going to expect you to explain why, that's a logical point to cover in any such discussion. Even if it's subjective. If it's an opinion on something objective, then there's an actual burden of "proof" and possible consequences, and the stakes rise accordingly.

There aren't many reasons to "properly" respect an opinion that is irrational (not just subjective), factually wrong ("interpretation" only goes so far), dishonest, or anything like that. I'm skeptical of endorsing any opinion until I know why it is what it is.

I was not a huge fan of walking up several stories for everything, no.

Normally it's just more inconvenient to do anything, like getting mail or groceries - slightly, but it does add up. When moving in or out or replacing furniture, anything like that, it's suddenly very inconvenient.

On the bright side, I guess the extra exercise probably doesn't hurt.

Ha! Get rekt, Meta.

Yes... grown up...

Maybe they've finally fixed one of the glitches from Oblivion.

Maybe it's a second cave/"randomly generated" dungeon.

Can only hope they'll get flayed in court, but I sort of doubt it.

"Underrated" and "awesome" tend to just... mean roughly the same thing in this context, and it's so individual it's hopeless to try to recommend stuff based on that alone. Popularity or unpopularity doesn't necessarily speak to how much you'll like it, either.

Recommendations are easier to give the better you know your tastes, and the better you can describe them.

You can also do some thinking about what you like and why, and see how others describe that song/album/artist/whatever to get some useful starting points. If you want to nerd out, Wikipedia and the like can tell you a lot about musical influences that shaped this or that style, and you can track it down and see if it resonates with you.
