I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. I was just chatting.
You chose to take my position on liberals and conservatives, which disagrees with yours, very, very personally, rather than just saying, "He disagrees with me on politics," which would have been a more appropriate response.
And you've said all kinds of things that clearly are abusive to me... I'm brash, I'm irritating, I'm unable to have a conversation with others...
If you took my disagreement with you over politics as personally insulting, how do you think I'm supposed to take your actual personal insults?

I am accusing liberals and conservatives of that. So what? That is not personally insulting, rude, or anything else. No reason to get upset.
I don't want to continue this conversation.

Because my friends and family couldn't possibly be liberals and conservatives? 95% of the country fits into the "liberals and conservatives" slot. How can you not consider that to be personally insulting?
