Do you somehow not realise that is exactly the point being made?

YES, because OP is typing words that can be misconstrued as being a shill or a bigoted asshole. I'm smart enough to recognize it if you point it out, but I'm not fucking psychic, and I'm the kind of person who believes in dream prophesies so that just shows that neither potential delusion nor intelligence have anything to do with people misreading things online. It's just human and technical limitations, but your italics are clear so: if you don't want people to be annoyed at you, maybe respond without being condescending.

How could you misconstrue their words that way?
