I believe people do not change, and that a person's perspective is an innate and unchanging element of the soul, which is created and raised by the material circumstances of a person's existence. An "artificial soul", in the words of Dickens' Mr Bumble. There is no "convincing" anyone of anything. It is simply impossible. Either people understand, or they do not. That's the way the world has always worked. 
Regardless, there is no obligation to be friendly (this is not a "social media"). Certain people are worth ignoring, and the fellow that started this inquisition is one of those people. I am perfectly within my power to remove his comments from my page. I do not believe that he was acting in good faith. I simply do not. He wasn't, quite clearly. He was attempting to remove an obstacle, and he succeeded. It is all a matter of strategy. We must assume good faith, but that doesn't mean we must be ignorant of bad faith. I find it hard to believe you can block me for "harassment" when I've never engaged with this editor, at all. I refused to do so. If anything, his behaviour was harassment. He made trumped-up charges on my talk page, continually posted here despite my wishes to the contrary, and then ran to AN/I with no basis whatsoever. There are no grounds for a block of any kind, and that is simple. You must unblock me at once.  — ☎
