  i assume that other users are actual users. there is no reason for you to assume they are not.
  
  Well, I guess we have to agree that we disagree then.
  
  i am going to push back on that a bit and say that your presumption about other users is unfounded and toxic to the community.
  
  Ok, noted. Will try to do better. Just one more followup question: Why do you think my presumptions are unfounded? I mean besides that you seem to have faith in the good of all people and don't seem to think that there is such a thing as computational propaganda.
  
  You are either very naive or exactly what they’re talking about.
