If you aren't interested in engaging with me, then why did you respond to my thread? Especially when the content of your post seems to be "No you're wrong, and I don't want to explain why I think so."?

It is important to make disagreements common knowledge. That would justify a comment of the form you suggest. That is, however, not the comment I left.
