IMO what you should be doing is learning that it is presumptious and antagonistic to publicly tell people that they are "seriously misinformed" - when you have such feeble and inaccurate evidence of any such thing. Such nonsense just gets in the way of the discussion.

Perhaps it was presumptuous and antagonistic, perhaps I could have been more tactful, and I'm sorry if I offended you. But I stand by my original statement, because it was true.

Crocker's Rules for me. Will you do the same?

I don't have much inclination to think about my attitude towards Crocker's Rules just now - sorry. My initial impression is not favourable, though. Maybe it would work with infrastructure - or on a community level. Otherwise the overhead of tracking people's "Crocker status" seems considerable. You can take that as a "no".
