No it doesn't. It means I was being naive for thinking you'd put a little
effort into communicating the rationale for something you described as one of
your principles. It was particularly stupid of me because I don't recall you
ever engaging seriously with anyone in the comments section here.
I have a tendency to go into more detail than is common because I like to make
points that are clear, and this is the standard for communication in my work.
While it may be unusual to people, I think the effort I put in shows respect
for the person I'm dealing with, although my language sometimes doesn't. I
make mistakes like anyone else. I'm OK with them being pointed out.
Anyway, you initially corrected someone on something because you were
compelled by personal principle, but you have in no way done anything to
rationally convince anyone that your principle is reasonable. No one else can
do that but you. The readership here might have something to gain if you do.
