"Posts which resemble conversation" is a bit general, no? The question is:
do they resemble good conversation or lousy conversation? Wiiliam J King used
the word "drivel"; I don't think one can unequivocally or even otherwise
infer from this that what he objects to is the infinitely broad category
you posit. He objects to drivel. I find it hard to disagree with that.
