  • …if I wrote comments with those types of people in mind, I’d never be able to say anything worthwhile.

    Pish-posh! Proofreading can help with that as can thinking about your audience. It’s certainly a skill that needs to be developed, but you have plenty of interesting points to make and only have to tweak the presentation. For example, you could preface your post with a statement of intent.

    “Look, I’m not defending the practice but…” would do.

    For example, I was raised evangelical and am now a deconstructed atheist. I still interject regularly on scriptural topics that people frequently get wrong, which can result in others assuming I am an advocate. I am not, so I try to preface those kinds of statements with qualifiers.
