since you asked:

I demand a quotation now.

how's that?

it's a tone thing, and maybe quite different from how you are in meatspace.

Yes, it's a deliberate annoyed and offended tone. Congrats for noticing. I don't think I need to be discursive about it, by the way.

As for the "convince me", you might want to reply in the right thread. It was actually not a one-liner, it was after "first you convince yourself, then you convince a friend, then you convince an enemy", which I believe is taken from Georg Polya. I remain unconvinced, by the way.

There are times when I actually want to be in-your-face, abrasive or edgy.

I'm actually worse in meatspace: there I don't do it on purpose.

Can the last politician to go out the revolving door please turn the lights off?

... assertion:

Now when analytical minds such as Migeru, and others on this site, hear the word "Sympathy" they reach for their revolvers and tend to dismiss what follows as some sort of idealistic theorising of little value in the "Real" world.

He has every right to demand that you present evidence to back up your assertion, especially given that you have not merely made it as a claim against him, but have made him the poster child for a nebulous group of "analytical minds".
