Well, that's something at least. The basic point is, when you say "Did you even read what I said?" to someone, you might just as well be saying "Did you even read what I said, you idiot" - which is pretty much going to kill the conversation.

What you perhaps didn't realize is that I was specifically trying to take things back a step to examine things with reference to the code, insofar as I understood it. At that point you could've clarified that such-and-such is what you were already getting at (some things you said weren't fully clear to me, and there was also the possibility that you'd overlooked something). That's how proper debate can unfold, without anyone having to get rude. Anyway, i guess this is done with now. If you regret the wording, that'll do.
