I'm very happy to discuss the substantive points, at least to the limits of my patience :-).
I'd thought you might find it useful to know that you're coming across as crankish. I would, with roles reversed. I haven't called you any names. I suggest you may be being quicker-than-optimal to take offence.
This is natural reciprocal altruism. If I was bickering a bunch of calling names, I wouldn't mind receiving it back. But I'm going out of my way not to do so, so I'm less tolerant of receiving it.
Similarly, not every reaction someone has is a sign of personal weakness of them. Including "quicker-than-optimal to take offence." Focus instead on the ideas and not trying to force things into aspersions on others.
