That was supposed to be humorous hyperbole, but clearly it missed its
mark, so I apologise.

If you look at what I wrote, I asked you a series of questions to
discover why you were apparently being negative about the suggestion.

Having looked again at what you wrote, I see that you were also just
asking a series of questions.

Perhaps now that you've assumed that what I wrote was an assault you may
be able to better understand how your original series of negative
questions could be open to an abusive interpretation.

I've no idea if I disagree with you, since you didn't actually say what
you think AFAICT, since you tell me that what you wrote were just some
questions.
