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.
