Telling someone their opinion could change doesn't contribute to the conversation and edges on ad hominem.

Interesting perspective, I never thought of it that way.

By all means, I shall call you a person whose opinion could not change. Is there a term for such a thing?

Welp, they walked right into that one ;)

Yeah, I walked into a person who refused to have good-faith discourse.

All I can suggest is for you to ask a trusted friend to read the exchange and give their take on it, preferably without priming or explaining.

Alternatively you can, for my edification, demonstrate by way of example -- how should I have phrased my initial point in a more palatable manner in your opinion?

The only "point" you offered was a character attack, you did not make an attempt to respond to any of my arguments whatsoever. I am not interested in your rude suggestions or further interaction with you.

I sincerely believe you did not read my comments as intended, nothing rude in such a suggestion as misunderstandings happen - either way, be well.
