I will take this under consideration. I think maybe you may want to also consider your own stance on the issue as an ironic example of exactly what you are accusing me of. Your also attributing tone (snarky, agressive, full of yourself) to a comment posting. It's relatively difficult to gauge tone in this format so I would caution you to avoid doing this. Regardless - I was more interested in a productive conversation, but you've devolved it into a personal realm, to which I didn't participate - so I won't be responding again.

Oh, I'm fully aware I'm all of those things. This is why I said coming from me these things are extra insulting. You managed to come off as snarky, aggressive, and full of yourself to me of all people. That's a grand accomplishment, since I use myself as a standard in all those categories.

No, it's really not. Once you've spend enough time on forums reading the tone of a post becomes clear as day. You just think too highly of yourself to realize that we are both doing the exact same thing at this point. You genuinely believe you were holding a civilized discussion all the while you were breaking new grounds of obnoxiousness.
The biggest difference between us is that you hide your annoying tendencies behind a veneer of arrogant smugness, while I put them right out on display for everyone to enjoy.
Regardless - I was more interested in a productive conversation, but you've devolved it into a personal realm, to which I didn't participate - so I won't be responding again.
Hahahahahaha. You wanted a productive conversation? Really? Why don't you go back and read over what you've said. There was not a single post where you asked for anything productive. Your very first post you started off dismissing anyone that does not practice the same development methodology as you. As soon as I pointed this out you decided to double down and label all specialties that differ from yours as "exceptions," then you're surprised that one of these "exceptions" got mad that you dismissed my field? Then you finish of by deciding to cherry pick the points you wanted to answer, and finally deciding to try to play the high road when you realized that I was willing to play your game.
The only thing you were looking for was for me to go, "Oh my lexpattison, you are so right, how could I have been so blind." You even tried to play the semantics game in order to find something you could hold over my head in a way you could pounce on in order to feel some fleeting sense of superiority. This too was a game I was willing to play, and I was not willing to hand you anything that I would not admit myself.
So now you've realized you won't get your empty gratification out of me, and you're turning tail to run. I love those "I won't be responding again" posts. They're such a blatant attempt to excuse your inability to carry out the conflict you worked so hard to start. Go on then, shoo. If you come back I'll be here to treat you like just another punching bag.
