You're getting paranoid. There's nothing in the least complaining about
the above paragraph.
The remainder of your post picks apart my points in an effort to show
that you were not in error at any point, that all points I attributed to
you as being erroneous were misconstrued on my part, or that you
misconstrued my points because my points were insufficiently well
written. This isn't a discussion, it's a debate. I'm not interested in
debating, thank-you.

How rude! As if someone were inflicting some sort of discussion on you.

Gee, thanks for the insult. What a pleasant person you are.

Insults are not on a higher level than smiley faces. They're on a lower
level.
