Take something that someone else said. Come out swinging at a distortion of what they said. Then if they call you on it, say, "You seem very defensive and angry." Thereby dismissing what they said without having to engage in any self-reflection.
I'm sorry you feel this is a "strategy". Nothing was intended as personal. Something you said made me react with a reflection on AI and the productivity threadmill, but I wasn't criticizing your personal experience, much like the poem wasn't either.
Your insistence on framing this as someone "swinging" at you is a mistake.

You'll always be right in your own mind.
