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?
