"Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead."

While I understand, I can't find something interesting to respond to in this case because I refused to read it.

I'd argue that I also provided value by solving the complaint I made by spelling out what it stood for, for those who might not know.

I don't feel like that rule works here? If you cut out part of the second sentence to get "Find something interesting to respond to", that's a good point, but the full context is "instead [of the most provocative thing in the article]" and that doesn't fit a complaint about acronyms.
