> Your tone is really aggressive and detracts from your technical points.

True, but I went with the aggressive tone intentionally while appreciating this concern. For some odd reason when I voice these opinions with more pleasant language the responses are highly hostile 50% of the time. When I use an aggressive tone the responses are rarely hostile (maybe 10% of the time) and more likely to be agreeable. That seems strange to me, but I guess misery loves company. The context of a given thread is likely also a factor.

I have thought about writing my approaches to performance many times. I want to be helpful and share things I have learned, but in the end I always question the value of that time commitment. I have experienced great hostility during my career when violating popular conventions and then doubt the value of my time to commit to writing things that, in the past, have resulted in such hostility.
