Yes, I saw that protestation... Is that really your fair reading of how his posts come across? When he tells me that my disagreement is insulting, that I have no idea what I'm talking about whatsoever and am "so far past the point" that everything I say should is irrelevant, and that he's "calling me out", that "we'll never agree", that I'm "validating hate" - again, from a simple disagreement about whether identity politics is a good thing - that I'm way off base to suggest that he might be just a little geared up here? Tell me honestly, how would you expect that I'd react to someone talking to me in those terms?
I mean, maybe you're right, but I feel like I'm on solid ground here.

In the field of psychology this is called projection.
You have projected these emotions onto his argument.
NOt sure if you value my opinion on the matter at all but I feel like he's done a pretty amazing job of serving you up your own posting style, and you certainly don't appear to like the taste of it.
Maybe you're the one getting a little geared up here?
