You're zealotry alone has discredited you. Levi was merely the most
persistent in attempting to hold an intelligent conversation with you.
So Levi et. al. can just go around slandering me. But when I defend
myself he's the one trying to hold an intelligent conversation?

I'm all for agreeing to disagree. But I won't slink away after being
called names in a public forum.
Please realize you don't need to defend yourself at every turn. Taking
offense actually has a negative rather than positive effect on your
cause, and it makes you feel bad. If you read others' words in a more
optimistic light, you'll find that offense is rarely intended.
If you *are* offended in a public forum, it's much better to let someone
else defend you. That puts you in a very positive light. People
appreciate humility.
