For all we know, he may have given all of the same answers you did. Have you ever tried to give intelligent responses to someone who has already decided you are wrong? This is what is meant by an "emotional argument masquerading as logic". Somebody asks seemingly logical questions with the sole intent to bait and knock down the responses no matter how logical and well thought-out they are. The author of the article eventually recognized that this was just a pissing match and tried a different approach which worked better in that particular isolated case. From your "proper response" I have to believe that you would have fallen for the bait.
