Was a bit unclear -- I think what I meant to say was that you will be perceived as condescending, even though that's not what you're doing (it's an honest problem). I'm basing it on experiences at ILM of being called condescending for essentially bringing some Kogan concepts into defense of the teenpop thread. I don't believe I was being condescending at all, was merely pointing out a failure of the attackers to engage with what we were actually writing about on the thread. But I don't really want to bring up that convo again specifically, since for the most part it was pretty dysfunctional (what I remember most is that when I actually excerpted parts of the thread that I thought were exemplary, no one had any criticism whatsoever of the content).
