      That would be an excellent explanation if your response was “fair enough, have a nice day,” or even just “Oh, okay,” or “I don’t think we’ll get anywhere, then,” but if any of those were your response, I probably would not have asked for any explanation.

          From my perspective, I just answered your question as clearly as I could and explained my thinking. Perhaps I could have used more “I” phrasing, but I still think that you’re kind of “apologizing” while shifting blame.

          Would you have preferred that I use a term besides “obscurantist” because it sounds too accusatory? I don’t really know what else to describe it as except “mystifying,” which I think wouldn’t really be an improvement. Do you have any ideas?

          You still havent substantiated any of your claims or given any idea what ground you stand on or addressed any arguments raised against you.
