I'll leave that to mods to decide.

As I see it I was asking direct questions designed to point out the flaws I saw in your argument, and to seek clarification.  My main point was trying to get you to define what makes a fighting game, and why that minigame would qualify.  I don't see anything especially combatative about that.  Argumentative, sure.  I like arguing and make no apologies for it.  That's why I'm in law school right now... this is kind of what I want to do for a living.  I personally like defending points I make, and questioning those of others.  Anyone who does not is free to not engage.  And if I'm saying anything actually toxic, the report button exists. 

Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it's flawed or say it's ridiculous for example, like with the lego analogy. Or say this is not a fighting game and then downplay the my statement with cheeky remarks like it's not a fun game. There are fighting games with different rules and even less controls, a fighting game is a game with close hand to hand combat. There I answered it.

I never came here to argue, and this is not a court of law, or law school and if you're not going to apologies then I will. got no problems with it.

If I don't understand something, then in my mind it's flawed, and I'm free to express my opinion.  In turn, you can explain why I'm mistaken and it's not flawed. For example, I think your definition is ridiculously broad, as it would seemingly include games that nobody would consider fighting games, like Double Dragon, Battletoads, Devil May Cry 3, Mario 64, and Donkey Kong 64, while excluding games like Bushido Blade. 

If you think your definition is not flawed, you are free to explain why not.  If you don't care enough to defend your point, you are free not to.  If you didn't come to argue, then don't.  If you just want to be able to say what you want to say and ignore any criticism then w/e.  I swear I'm not going to follow you to your home and force you to respond at gun point.  I enjoy stuff like this.  If you don't, then find something you'd rather do with your time.

Edit:  And btw, saying it wasn't fun is not a cheeky response.  You specifically brought it up to explain that FF7 has good things.  I would say a minigame being a "good" thing would entail being fun.
