I think the downvotes to this comment are coming from people who are interpreting it to say "this discussion has convinced me that you are low status, and not worth engaging with anymore". I believe the intended meaning is (Alicorn correct me if I'm wrong) closer to "we are not communicating effectively, and synchronizing our methods of communication would take too much effort given the low importance of the disagreement", with much less (if any) implication of blame.

Your interpretation is correct.
