I think you might want to re-read with less assumed negativity the context in which I was using the words "assume" and "force". I wasn't referring to you trying to wildly force your opinion onto others. I just mean why are you "assuming" that "professional" should even be part of the equation and "force" an objective requirement into something subjective, even just in the context of you forming your own personal opinion. I gave reasons for why I don't see its relevance. The latter was also not in response to your initial comment, but to your most recent response about how there's no point if it is subjective rather than objective.
I'm not sure how I'm caricaturing your opinions or what's bad faith about this-- I'm just addressing why I don't find what you're saying reasonable or well-founded.
I don't think I'm reading with "assumed negativity" when you say a thing like "I don't find what you're saying reasonable or well-founded". Especially when the first paragraph of the prior post kicked off by characterizing my perspective as a "gross misconception" and "really silly".
You don't need to share my perspective. Feel free to disregard it. Just know that lines like "Conversations like these are worthwhile for the sake of sharing perspectives and potentially broadening our own by listening to others" ring pretty hollow in that context.
