There's plenty of discussion in here if you'd just read it instead of posting inviting someone to reply

My first sentence was:

There’s a lot of discussion around this topic, much of it good, but I feel like we’re losing sight of the forest for the trees.

As I indicate, I’ve read the discussion that was here at the time, and appreciate it. I’ve even responded to a couple of posts. In this comment, I was hoping to bring up a different angle.

If you don’t agree and/or don’t want to engage, that’s fine, but don’t assume that I’m just blindly soliciting responses without reading what people are saying.
