Apology 

I'm sorry about that. The contrast between actually  editing interesting articles on fascinating topics, and having the debate what I regard as nonsense by editors I am constrained by WP:AGF to accept as interlocutors, is just a little too aggravating personally for me not to sound dismissive. You were not the object of my displeasure. I did not wish to waste time there, added a comment out of respect for one editor's efforts, and found it was talked past by the primary disputant. I know you are a very competent and decent mediator, and feel duty-bound for any displeasure this may have, unintentionally, caused. I get insulted every other week around here, and therefore tend to have a tough hide, and a manner that may seem overbearing, though unless one is tough-minded in the I/P editing cesspit, you die a quick death, and perhaps my 8 years there shows. Best wishes
