  > … I’m just asking questions
I'm not disagreeing, but just wanted to point out that this phrasing is commonly used by bad faith actors. I'm not saying you're using it this way and I legitimately do not think you are. But I wanted to point it out because I think your comment could be interpreted another way and this phrase might be evidence for someone to make that conclusion.

The classic example is conspiracy theorists. But lots of bad faith actors also use it to create leading questions that generally ignore or lead away from important context. Again, I do not think you're doing this. The rest of your comment makes me think you're acting in good faith.
