It may be a discussion-culture thing, if I may chime in. The way I saw it,
and I do not imply that this is what you wanted to do, Thomas reasonably
asked you to back up your claims either by presenting evidence or by
reasoning, which you refused to do for quite some time. Instead, you
alternated between "if you really are so stupid that you do not see this
entirely obvious point, pity, I will not be bothered to explain it"
and "believe me, for I am the mighty and all-knowing Jay Honeck" (some
exaggeration to get the point across). Thomas finally grew frustrated and
attacked you personally - not the high art of debate, but not completely
unprovoked, either.

It takes two to tango, etc.
