All of these are assumptions are based on fabricated conjecture. Major Red Flags.

  This is a good example of the mechanism I was describing whereby someone is upset by someone else portraying a technically defensible point of view on an opinion they find harshly disagreeable. This user probably thinks I'm being annoying. Which is a good reason why I would try not to talk to them like this in a professional context, or really just at all on this issue if I felt it was going to exacerbate the issue.

    You're fabricating a narrative based on speculation. Several times over in your post. You're not making a 'technical defence' you're just 'making it up'. In a reasoned post, you could have made the implication maybe once, with the caveat that it's 'a stretch', and then deferred to other lines of speculative reasoning from a different angle. Irrespective of the fact that there's a thin possibility that this narrative could be close to the truth ... it's still bad rhetoric. As to whether 'it's annoying' or not, I have nothing to say about that - I mean, I don't personally care. It just is what it is to me, 'annoying' is a personal inference, it's a discussion board, I don't presume anything is personal.
