Seems more to me like you want the easy ammunition against someone whose opinion you don’t like so others can dogpile on later. But that’s actually not what interests me.
What does interest me is that you apparently have this hit list of people who you follow and claim they add nothing of value, which I would claim comes from a pretty heavy dose of confirmation bias on your part. Not denying that I involve myself in my fair share of negative drive by’s, and not that it’s any of your business but I find just putting my thoughts out there and verbalisimg them helps me process those negative emotions because I’m on the spectrum.
But I also do engage in good faith discussion when I feel engaged by the topic, and I know plenty of people on your little list do as well. Just something to reflect on, you don’t have to understand it or even accept it, but consider that people are complex and it’s not your job to judge them.

First off that's interesting and I'll take that into account. Don't want to offend.
But isn't there a way to express concern without a sardonic drive by? I think it would get you a more leveled response that might alleviate your concerns?
