Needling your interlocutor for a prompt reply makes it sound as you’re more interested in “winning the debate” than in getting a considered reply from them. If it takes someone a couple days to let the dust settle, consider possible counter-arguments or lines of retreat, and frame a careful reply, don’t begrudge them that.
I’d like to think about this more, but what you say sounds convincing just now. I’ve been ill this week, which is why I’ve been online so much, which may be affecting my judgement.
