(Since you posted to the group...)

I don't know. It is hard to tell if the pushing is good natured or
not. I guess I have little tolerance for people who make arguments
just for the sake of making arguments. It adds too much friction in
the world.

It is just too easy to poke holes on specific details of people's
arguments by twisting what they meant. If there is genuine confusion,
sure bring that up, that is helpful. But otherwise, I think it starts
becoming a bit rude.

Again, all my opinion. - Midair
