I voted some of your comments down (as well as some of Silas') because you seemed unnecessarily confrontational, and to a lesser extent because I disagree with your priors.

Ah, thanks for explaining. I don't feel I was especially confrontational though, especially given Silas's tone. Could you point out what made you feel that way?

Nothing that would stand out as confrontational on its own, but things like describing him as "leaping to a conclusion" that add up.

As for Silas' tone:

  1. Since he is an (albeit high functioning) autist I'm willing to give him the benefit of doubt to some extent.
  2. Even though I don't think anyone was attacking him as such I can understand why he felt attacked.
  3. As I stated I did vote several of his comments down.
