You know that we can still see the posts you write:

You were definitely painting yourself as a victim for being taken to task over your assertion.

Don't pat yourself on the back too hard for managing basic respect when people are discussing opinions. You also told someone to get bent a few minutes ago, and ended your soapbox defence telling me to get bent. C'mon man, none of this is more than a discussion of opinions. If there's one person in this room that took it personally, it's you.

Also, you weren't called a name. You were told how you were coming across in what you were writing. No one asked you for a list and the list you made was a condescending way to prove your point. No one owed you a rebuttal list. You created a list to prove a point, and I'm not sure still what that point was.
And if 'taking me to task' is an allegation I misunderstood, the fault of that rests squarely with how you communicate it. I've rarely ended a positive allegation with 'get bent'.
"Wonderful cheesecake Greg! Get bent."
