I felt a bit insulted about the length of the response to be honest. If you don't want fit your answer in a reasonable length you should submit a blog post. I only asked a question, that response is unbefitting and could damn well have been said in fewer words. Just like you chose to be verbose, I chose not to read it.
The community guidelines suggest the answers become more thoughtful and deep, and thus maybe more lengthy, the more we exchange ideas, but that's not what happened. The sudden spike is not justifiable and aggressive regardless of the language sugarcoating it.
Also:
Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.
