It may not be your intention Adi but frankly that's the way it presents. There's a cycle that occurs where you post prolifically and wind up the usual group of idiots (as well as some of the sensible balanced folk) until you get unjustifiably hounded and flounce away from the board for a few months, usually from a relentless and childish reference to "Shelvey plus one other."
Like I said, I can't think of anything I'd disagree with you on. I can empathise with the notion of trying to talk sensibly with people who can't or won't be open minded or dismiss simple facts in discussions. It's just a glaring issue that comes to light when some people are making their point.
Then we will have to simply agree to disagree. I’ve read my contributions to this thread and stand by all of them. People must have a really really thin skin if any of my posts on here are construed as sneering. They are all entirely reasonable, courteous and respectful. And to be perfectly honest I don’t really care if people take them in the way you describe. You can’t please everyone. I’m used to robust and strong communications. If people can’t take it then it’s up to them. As I said, it doesn’t make them right.
I don’t recognise that pattern either. It’s not accurate. What actually happens is that a number of posters have a personal problem with me (largely because I can argue a point) and very often whenever I post they are instantly there with a personal attack irrelevant to the point and it escalates. That is a very very well trodden path
