I confess I find your charitable characterization of Odell’s supposed good intentions and naïveté rather more capacious than the facts seem to warrant. My own vituperative animus, as you put it, i...

You seem to have taken issue with my use of two commonly used English words that a native English speaker would take in their stride, but that you so happened to be unfamiliar with.
Constructive feedback. I enjoyed your parody - especially the misspelling of "naivety" and the unnecessary diacritics - but it missed the mark. You absolute nailed the verbosity of someone who uses too many words for effect, but missed the pretentiousness of someone who uses deliberately obscure ones judiciously. It was a fair effort though.
Secondly, and this is the crucial point, I was agreeing with you and supporting your position. I certainly wasn't defending Odell’s naivety, I was describing a previously held belief no longer held that he was naive but not necessarily a bad actor. I would argue that it is one thing for a long time critic of Odell to continue their criticism. It is quite another thing for a long term supporter and naive apologist for his actions to regret and feel foolish for their lack of due diligence.
