The way I see it, your posting in this thread has turned from in depth classical discussion into "Oops, I misinterpreted what you said. Why don't you say it like this from now on so I don't make that mistake again?" with said discussion masking the quoted words. I'd say that's a pretty good reason you're getting the responses you're getting.
Assumptions seem to be your thing, so I'll play your game for a minute: you and PhiJayy know absolutely nothing about me as of the first time you read this post. I would consider him no more of a friend than you or 95% of this website. He ain't my friend, dawg, so stop classifying people based on text that makes no mention of such classification.
Judging people also seems to be your thing, so again, let's play: PhiJayy made 2 posts in this thread before his "wow Doug" post. One conveyed amazement at your vocabulary, and you brushed it off in favor of getting the topic back on track. His other post apologized for his first post's off-topic nature, and quoted another user's text since it parallels his opinion of your posting. He even said so.
Wanna know why I jumped in? You're acting like this is your email inbox. Just because you made the thread doesn't mean every post is directed at you and requires your response. Feel free to reply to whatever you want, but don't assume undertones and snide comments that just aren't there. Unless your name is Doug, there should be no reason to suspect a snide comment by PhiJayy, since he even quoted the text he was talking about. And it wasn't your text.
I'm derailing this topic not because you're getting away with elitism but because you're being a general ass. Cool off on the condescending comments and you'll rile up a lot less derailment.
I see you're back on topic with discussion, so have at it.
