Agree. Occasionally i'm able to come up with something as creative as you and some others do. It's definitely a more fun way.

…...but the different perspectives help the rest of us communicate, in a way.

More than you think. This had to do with the desire by authoritarians to censor opinion.

On Liberty by John Stuart Mill : chapter two - Utilitarianism

https://www.utilitarianism.com/ol/two.html

If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.

1.) I know that my 'impression of truth' is made 'livelier' by its 'collision' with bat-shit crazy fact-challenged righty opinions, such as they are.

2.) If I had to carry 'intellectual collision insurance' my deductibles would go through the roof. It's a game of dodge-'em with Trumpanzees. :)
