Emotionpost

A specific instance of Emotionbait—a post that uses emotional accusations, demands, or provocations to manipulate rather than communicate. Emotionposts might accuse you of being "too emotional" when you're perfectly calm, or demand that you perform a specific emotion to prove your humanity, or use emotionally charged language to provoke a reaction they can then pathologize. They might say "I'm not angry, you're projecting" while clearly angry, or "you need to calm down" as a way of escalating conflict while claiming the moral high ground. The Emotionpost is recognizable by its focus on the target's emotional state—real or imagined—as a way of avoiding substantive engagement.
"I made a calm, reasoned argument about a sensitive topic. Emotionpost response: 'I can feel your anger. You're clearly triggered. Take a deep breath and come back when you've regulated.' I wasn't angry; they just needed me to be, because an angry person can be dismissed while a reasoned argument must be answered. They invented the emotion to avoid the argument."

Noun. Portmanteau of "street" and "road": it describes a street, er, road, built for high speed, but with multiple access points. Excessive width is a common feature. A common feature in suburbia, especially along commercial strips. Unsafe at any speed, their extreme width and straightness paradoxically induces speeding. Somewhat more neutral than synonymous traffic sewer.
Did you see what the traffic engineers want to do to our street? They're going to turn it into a total stroad!
