Hm, I was indeed being cartoonishly over-the-top. Sonnet 4.5 also pointed this out. I felt like I was at the same time making fun of the people making the accusation and the accused, but on reflection that’s not much better—I’m happy I didn’t name names. Might edit.
Edit: Added two hedging words in the first paragraph as a first measure.
Yeah makes sense. I don’t want to make it harder to write stuff though. The contrast does make the shortform rhetorically better and that is good. With these comments as context, it doesn’t seem super necessary to edit it.
