Can you tell me why I'd care what you think of my motives? The question makes me think less of you already. Maybe we're better off not knowing each other any better.

We as humans try to find the patterns and discover the causes. My question to you was nothing more than the attempt to get the direct information regarding your insistence to the unusual approach (repeating the claims that it's unimportant, ignoring the explicit examples of the uses of the compromised mechanism) to the topic we comment to. My question reflects my (maybe false) belief that there must be a reason for that. I believed it's better asking you directly than trying to devise some theories like some other users already did.

"I'm just questioning your motives. At least I didn't present a fully-formed hypothesis about how evil you were, like everyone else does". Got it.

How about this: if you think I get facts wrong or disagree with my conclusions, you say so. If I'm wrong --- not outside the realm of possibility --- I'll thank you for the correction.

I don't care what you think about my motives and am not interested in discussing that topic.

Alright kids, hug it out
