I give up, after many, many years!

Because you do a crappy job of repeating things.
No. It's because some people reject anything I say in a knee-jerk emotional
reaction. They are more concentrated on me than on my words. Sometimes they
argue with established facts simply because I'm the one who posted them.
You discard qualifiers, you remove necessary context, and you fail to
understand the domain of applicability of the things you repeat.
I don't do it any differently than most people do.
Whether this happens because you lack the experience to know which bits are
important or because you just like to cause a ruckus, I couldn't say.
It's neither. Some people simply look for some way to argue with what I say,
even when I'm simply repeated well-established facts. I've occasionally made
test posts here that prove it, literally lifting statements from reliable
sources and posting them under my own name, and watching the amusing reaction
of the usual suspects.
