Because of your wording.

That is so tragic, it is almost funny. At this moment what is on topic has
not changed. What is on-topic is still very clear to everybody else, exept
apparently you. Do you already understand what a 'community' is?

Yes, you did. Going on and on and on and on is what I would call
'insisting'.

Yes, you did. Otherwise you would not be not happy with the answer.

You got a statement and you did not like it. That was the reason you kept
on going. Seems pretty insiting. Even when you told that one person gave
you a satisfying answer, you kept bugging about others not giving the
answer you wanted to hear.

You already have. The first 7 words of your posting were a question.

This is exactly the wording why you are 'the bad guy'. With the above you
asume that no good wording will be found. Such an assumtion is degrading.
As you have better understanding of the use of English words, or so you
seem to claim, that is something you should have noticed.
