Books I've read would disagree. Are you the emdash police?

Books you have read have told you to use spaces after emdash? Mostly in writing we do not use spaces even though there is no fixed rule as such. https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/em-dash-en-dash-how-...

And yes you cannot care about grammar that is fine but calling someone a personal insult because they pointed out something impersonal in your comment is not ideal also and is unusually catty.
