I don't like arguing with you, SilasBarta. It feels very combative, and sets off emotional responses in me, even when I think you have a valid point.
As such, I'm tapping out.
In case it may help you to know, I've felt the same on a couple occasions when I engaged Silas in argument.
I've chalked it down to poor skill at positive sum self-esteem transactions on Silas' part, at least when mediated by text. I don't think it's deliberate, as on some other occasions I concluded on a genuine desire to help on his part.
