This was your opener, "Mr Good Manners":

Do you have evidence that this was the case, or are you moving the goal posts to the "no shit sherlock" zone for an easy win?

You kept insisting that I made an assertion when I didn't.

About my reputation, if this is a metric for you then maybe I should downvote you, right? I didn't downvoted you so far but maybe I should?

Let's try this!

HOOOOOO, look! you went from 2 to -4! It goes fast, right? Right? What a metric! You are a negative reputation now. And I only downvoted you in this thread! Now people will have a surprise when they look at your reputation.

I took the liberty of downvoting you more. You are now at -45. It's a good experiment on how flawed the reputation system works. Maybe you will, like me, refrain from smashing this downvote button and focus more on the content you write. You would see that you strawmen from the very beginning.

Have a fantastic day!
