Oh com'on man, of course they're insults on me as a person. And they're meant to be. It's your cheap technique to debate.
(at the same time, you are formally a very good debater, you are undoubtedly a very intelligent person, you have clarity and stringency in your arguments and how you present them. I want to be clear about that.)

This is not just about me, it is also about you. I am asking you to behave in a civilized manner.

Again, you end your post with sarcastic, snide remarks. "thoroughly confused", "take a break", "emotionally fragile".

That's so unnecessary.

Very well, I accept the gracious compliment.

I'm a snarky person as is, so it's unlikely to change regardless of the format. While I can be aware of this tendency, I rarely refine my posts. A little bite is necessary at times to express a particularly upsetting statement. It really is about the position of ignorance. Nothing upsets me more than that. 

I think the confusion part was necessary as I've not made claims. I've made arguments against yours. It's an important distinction to maintain during our discourse.
