I'm going to delete my first attempt at communicating in my draft of this post to redo it nicer here.
I'm going to be honest here. Your typing in the forums, against the majorities perspective; is probably quite solidly human. The main issues you are presenting is the overly formal grandstanding manner, with the fact you meander.
People here, in a casual forum, aren't expecting well polished, long walls of text. When I do it, half the time I throw it in a spoiler or some other reduction tactic because I 'have a lot to say' in my specific overly formal and rigid voice, but it isn't the only way I could be replying to a topic.
What people seem to have failed to communicate in the midst of the AI scare from all the fake/rage bait users being made to post and advertise AI posted books and otherwise, is the fact that AI tend to keep that 'overly polished' writing style, meaning when you start using em dashes, those little '—' symbols that aren't a hyphen, people are going to immediate jump on that.
The only people who were taught to use them outside of people who have interacted with the modern version of AI that now write stories, are high level grammar students and university students focusing on media and writing. It isn't a symbol on the keyboard, most people who know they exist, would be just as happy using a hyphen to save them the remembering of a specific alt key; of which many keyboards like apple computers, don't even have easily accessible.
So while the accusation was likely unfair, your tone, your doubling down on the specific style of writing in a more casual space, your choice to use what would be called 'ten dollar words' constantly, made it unapproachable. Even if you hold that kind of idiolect in your day to day, communication follows Grices Maxims, one of which is cooperation. You expect your audience to understand your communications and to do so, you author them in such a style that people can follow along clearly.
I think the meandering you incorporated into your initial posts didn't help with people trying to understand in this more casual environment, what you are trying to convey. There was no meeting mid-way to the audience; many of who might be english second language, to 'keep up' with the burst of complex words and references you might be holding on to.
Thank you for your reply and the reasonable tone you adopt to express your points of view.
You note my ‘overly formal grandstanding manner.’ This was purposefully designed to infuriate the yahoos who were slinging unjustified accusations.
The language confuses them, and they resort to insults. This is highly gratifying and encourages me to use even more complicated sentences and ‘ten-dollar words.’ I imagine them dancing with rage, which makes me laugh.
It is not my normal writing style. In the doubtful event that you ever read one of my books, you will find my prose direct and unadorned.
wat the... Uh.... Carry on? Please behave? Umm... Moving on...
