It's actually precisely because it's the internet and we've never met - since I have no idea who you are as a human being, I'm disposed to see you as a trope. You're a quintessential example of a particular type of person that I find irritating in political discussions: the strongly opinionated, totally self-assured individual, whose position on any given issue was never in doubt.
