So, if we're keeping track, you came out swinging with a pretty aggressive response to an industry professional who was explaining things in very calm and simple terms, and then when they rightly took you to task for the very basic errors you made, all of a sudden they're being a dick and the discussion isn't civil?

If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
