Yeah, no. You're conflating a lack of basic conversance in the topics under discussion with a differing opinion. You generally seem to be well meaning, and are respectful to other posters, so I don't think the reaction you get is meant to be taken personally, at least from most of the people on here. But there's a reason that people respond to you with utter bewilderment instead of disagreement. That Jackie Chan meme Fuzz posted isn't meant to convey frustration, it's literally called "my mind is full of f***". It's used when someone can't believe they're actually having the conversation they're having - as if someone's attempting to convince you that two and two make five. Where do you even start in responding to something like that?
It's hard to have a conversation when someone seems to just ignore basic first principles every few posts, and your response is to act surprised and ask where you've gone wrong, as if there are just a few minor errors in your statements that need correcting.
