I have gone to great effort to have a civil discussion, and have
avoided intentional insult in response to replies I don't like. In
fact, I've actually spent time looking up facts and figures to make
sure that I got them right rather than pulling them out of some faded
memory.

You, on the other hand, have not done likewise. So playing the
insulted victim seems like a case of a pot not looking in the mirror
before commenting on the kettle's sooty exterior.
