When I leave negative comments, not the asking for fight comments but points against the topic, I don't expect any notice from author. If they were just posting for the sake of discussion then there's a chance they might bother replying back but I just assume like most of the "discussion" threads popping up that it's all for the votes and less for the interaction.
The whole I'm open-minded but can't take others that don't align with my views just wastes people's time to engage. I think it's well deserved that some don't have engagement based on how they conduct themselves. Some just need to curve their entitlement for attention as they have to earn their audience first.
