Someone asks a question about policy on a list. Now there are two possibilities: A) "You're right, thanks!" which means a valid point was raised B) "You misunderstand" which means "Do some research/think before posting". This thread has a different form: If the reply was (A) then he'd correctly think he was a well thinking person. Now the reply is (B) and he seems to think "Everybody is more stupid then I, because they disagree." when that doesn't work he switches to "See, I am a person who _sounds_ reasonable, (but still I am not wrong...)" So, it looks like he thinks he's either right or else not wrong. A discussion won't help, a link to Sir Karl Popper might. ;-)
