I didn't need to learn anything new about opinions, my work lives on divergent opinions. They are the fertilizer of progress.
I also knew that online forums are fraught with misunderstandings, making it easy for you to misinterpret my comment. So that's my bad for forgetting that exchanged text between complete strangers can't adequately communicate tone or meaning.
This exchange was simply an the unambiguous reminder there are strangers out there ready to use their assumptions to make a conversation contentious, and perhaps, feel better about themselves in the process.
If you want the last word, have at it.
