Well, given that I can now be confident my words won't encourage you*, I will feel free to mention that I found the attitudes of many of those replying to you troubling. There seemed to be an awful lot of verbiage ascribing detailed motivations to you based on (so far as I could tell) little more than (a) your disagreement and (b) your tone, and these descriptions, I feel, were accepted with greater confidence than would be warranted given their prior complexity and their current bases of evidential support.

I'm slightly worried that some of my remarks to Sam fell in that category. Rereading them, I don't see that, but there may be substantial cognitive biases preventing me from seeing this issue in my own remarks. Did any of my comments fall into that category under your estimate? If so, which ones?
