their willingness to have a sincere extended conversation

There is at proof above that this is false.

I was referring to the conversation in this post. Having been there before, I do sympathize with another person spending time earnestly trying to get through to you with reason.

I have no more interest in "attacking" you than I have in conversing with any other mentally ill person. If you want to be a positive influence on the site, maybe try not to harass and bully other users. Perhaps you can more often put me in the odd position of feeling obliged to support you, as has happened recently.

We have some prominent users who hardly upvote anything at all, and last I checked politically polarizing articles weren't against the TOS. It's up to the admins to make rules that exclude 'bad' users, however they choose to define them. That seems much better than relying on your esteemed instincts and willingness to play batman.

Are you so far gone that you think that was a 'sincere conversation'?
Really?

And yet you did. You are so full of shit.

How would you know until you try? You keep trying to use your feelings and butt-hurt, without success, so a new strategy might be a good idea.

Don't compare them to a troll.
I understand that nuance is lost on you, but I think even you can spot the difference.

I'm not allowed to question motives? I haven't stopped him from doing anything. I just asked questions.
Do you consider questions, or differing opinions to be offensive?
Yes, actually, I guess we've established that you do.
Do you think I give a shit, or even view that as a negative thing?

My intention was to express a little sympathy for OP after what I see as your unreasonable behavior - as I'm already on your bad side, it's something I can do that maybe others can't.

I'd rather not do that behind your back via PM, so "attacking" you in your eyes, was unavoidable. Hopefully in future we can chat less often.

My intention was ..

Irrelevant. Your action was to attack me.

as I'm already on your bad side

No, you're not. You've had a lot of time to figure this out.
Look back and think about it. Have I ever attacked you unprovoked? Am I willing to engage you in a friendly manor when you are civil?
Seeing a trend? I'm only a dick when you're a dick first. I may be better at it, but I treat you with the same respect you give me.

I don't hold a grudge. Next time is always a new chance. It's just that you've been pretty consistent with your aggression and stupidity, so this is where we end up.

Hopefully in future we can chat less often.

You say that, but you keep messaging me.
So full of shit.
