Hell, he can't admit (nor can you) that he intentionally provoked this and lied about the reality that there are literally thousands and thousands of my posts which are 100% "opinion".
Dude, let me explain it for you in a way that I hope is clear:
*All* your posts (and my posts and everyone else's posts) are "100% opinion".
My point is that the tone of your posts is always authoritative, even if someone else knows more about something than you do. Have you ever opened a post with "my opinion" or "I think"? Try it, it will really change the way people respond to you.
Your rhetorical formulas, too, which I suppose are supposed to strengthen your arguments, are just so silly and repetitive that people often don't take what you write seriously, even if you're absolutely correct.

Like, here's an example that has nothing to do with you: on another thread people were debating inheritance law and at least one person was saying something that simply wasn't true about the boring foundational stuff. Now DeaconCav, the main thing I associate with his real-life is that he married an undergrad while doing an LLM in tax law.
In this thread he didn't point out this fact but rather corrected on a couple of minor points other's misunderstandings.
Then, once everybody was on the same page, people could object to their disagreements about the philosophy of inheritance and the semantics of "being taxed twice".
There are a lot of ways this conversation could have gotten derailed, but it didn't because people came to an agreement about the facts so that they could have the debate people really wanted to have.
With you, we can't even debate the issues because the rest of your rhetoric is so distracting and inflammatory. People pick fights with angus and thereff and DG3, for example, because they are trolls who swing by threads just to piss people off. Junebug, for all his hypocritical beliefs, at least tries sometimes to engage on issues that are important to him.
You respond to every perceived slight as if it's the end of the world. And people, myself included, think it's funny to see you overreact and misunderstand stuff when you're angry.
It doesn't make you a bad person or anything like that. Just a good reminder to not take everything so seriously.
