I don’t think you’re doing a very good job of attempting to answer the very direct confusion I’m having.

No no. I've done an excellent job, you're clearly too stupid, entitled and bratty to understand the simple concept I've laid out for you.

Now fuck off you dim-witted cheeky little removed.

Demanding an education... not even a thank you.

This is a terrible way of persuading people. Better to not respond at all than to say something like this.

That guy has zero interest in being persuaded, he was just trolling and trying to waste my time. I'd already replied in detail and he pretended not to understand.
