Good writers use semicolons and em-dashes. Sometimes we used bulleted lists or Oxford commas.

- You seem to have a rather high opinion of your own writing :-)

- Why the mix of tense (use/used)?

- Oxford commas are a monstrosity

> Oxford commas are a monstrosity

Please don’t present your personal aesthetic beliefs as if those who disagree are morally wrong ‘bad people’. This ‘monstrosity’ comment in this context is derogatory-by-proxy of everyone (including the person you’re criticizing) who uses them, whether they know anything at all about your arguments that they should not, and that’s not really a good tone for us users here to be taking with each other.

This is objectively wrong.

to be honest, these little petty attacks bug me more than some ai comments. at least some of the ai comments generate good conversation afterwards.

"Used" seems to be a typo.

Being anti-Oxford comma is baffling. It's almost zero extra effort and reduces confusion.
