A poster can write absolutely evenly, unemotionally, with no loaded terms and some people will call it sanctimonious and condemn it. (Since you are not referring to anything or anyone specific you are not being singled out. It's about others.)

It is laughable (and sadly un-self-aware) that members criticize other members for criticizing (not you, you limited your remarks. I'm speaking about others).
