Missing the wood for the trees.

Acknowledging that part of your interlocutor's statement which does
have substance, is a more useful foundation for actual communication.
Your response to Ralph might be witty, but it is without empathy.

You are free to do all such consideration you feel appropriate. You
have failed to name the objection, which afaict is the asking of "tens
of thousands" of people in our community to spend their precious Soul
attention on the real psychological and emotional needs of a handful
of damaged individuals in genuine need of healing.

Your good intentions are applauded.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, at least when you put
your imposition on others to "you must act with the good intentions
which I do".

If someone is genuinely in need of healing, then the Debian mailing
lists is not an appropriate place for professional help.

If someone is not in need of professional help and genuine healing,
the demand that the community put the attention of thousands (or in
fact 10s of thousands or more) on the delicate emotions of a tiny
number of vocal individuals, is an abhorrent demand, virtually be
definition.

> As it happens, I prefer being called "woke" above being rude.

It is good that you have personally found a way to feel good about
your activism. You are applauded, certainly by those who are aware of
the benefit you may have brought to their delicate and fragile
emotions.

And I say that with no sarcasm at all. It is good that people in this
world care about one another. I have no objection that whatsoever, and
in fact when one is lifted a little, I hold that this lifting has a
subtle benefit for us all.

Every loaded topic, can be unloaded. Unloading a loaded topic simply
requires sufficient linguistic capacity. Keep at your efforts and you
should find success in this regard. I consider such pursuit a useful
endeavor.
