I wish Pei had taken the time to read the articles I repeatedly linked to, for they were written precisely to explain why his position is misguided.

I think you should have listed a couple of the most important articles at the beginning as necessary background reading to understand your positions and terminology (like Pei did with his papers), and then only used links very sparingly afterwards. Unless you already know your conversation partner takes you very seriously, you can't put 5 hyperlinks in an email and expect the other person to read them all. When they see that many links, they'll probably just ignore all of them. (Not to mention the signaling issues that others already pointed out.)
