"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."

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.

To paraphrase McLuhan, you don't like that guideline? We got others:

"Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting."

The point, in any case, is to avoid off-topic indignation about tangential things, even annoying ones.

Yeah that one works.

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 hear you and agree there's benefit in that; it's just that the cost (what it does to the thread) is larger than the benefit.

Totally fair. Thanks for taking the time to discuss.
