You are acting as if you are obviously correct. That is true far less often than you suppose. If you are not obviously correct, retaliating against the people who attacked you is counterproductive. Better is to expand your analysis or drop the subject altogether.
You choose to perpetuate the cycle. OK, then, I will drop out first. This thread has been dragged into the gutter—and I am not interested in following it down there. Bye.

Someone asked me why I was being downvoted.

On the other hand, if you genuinely want me to stop defending my actions, it would help if people first stop attacking them—perhaps starting with you.
