This is a fair, good, and valid question. Klassik is on another forum similar to this one. A couple of years ago, Klassik realized that Klassik's posts, especially ones pertaining to policy and economics, were often being misconstrued by those who clearly didn't read what Klassik had written. This was when Klassik wrote posts in the traditional first-person. The unfocused replies Klassik was getting were hindering good conversation. Klassik noticed other users were having the same problem.
Even in the first-person, Klassik knows Klassik's posts/replies are not the easiest to read. They're often rather long and contain multiple points. Beyond that, Klassik is one who questions many commonly held beliefs...especially those held by what constitutes 'the left' in modern times...since the 1980s or 1990s at least. This is not because Klassik is some right-winger, even if that's what those who didn't read Klassik's posts thoroughly thought, it's quite to the contrary. In fact, it's been mentioned to Klassik that some people have a very difficult time even handling the idea of an anti-right-wing Texan.
The thought came to Klassik's mind to post as an illeist. This adds an additional layer of difficulty to Klassik's posts for many people. Illeism will certainly annoy those easily annoyed, but Klassik came to the conclusion that people who are easily annoyed are a hindrance to good conversation, not a benefit. Klassik's illeist posts might be harder to read, but those willing to take on the challenge might well be the ones who read a post carefully, consider what is written, and then reply in a thoughtful manner.
Klassik didn't know if that would actually happen, but sure enough, that's exactly what happened! After much protestations initially, things settled down. Those who were quickly annoyed by Klassik's illeism just ignored Klassik's posts. Klassik is fine with that. Those who were willing to put in the effort to read Klassik's posts did so, and there were/are many of them, and the level of discourse was/is much, much improved. The success of this strategy has surprised even Klassik! This is not to say that the people who read Klassik's posts always agree with Klassik, but at least there is good discussion more often than not.
To put things in a Hi-Fi context, it's like signal-to-noise ratio. Klassik's illeism has eliminated a lot of the noise in typical social media political discussions. More signal, less noise.
Since Le Baron is over yonder and has been for a while, Le Baron surely knows how much the quality of conversations has improved. Klassik likes to post a lot about US foreign policy, for example, and what Klassik writes is often a significant challenge to those who hold 'mainstream', pro-state beliefs about foreign policy. Even with that, Klassik believes the conversation has been productive and respectful. That most certainly was not the case before when there was a lot more noise than signal.
