Why is it so hard to be civil and just tell me I’m incorrect instead of being a freaking asshole about it?

Two reasons:

1. You were condescending with your vicarious "expertise"

2. You assumed other freepers, such as freeplancer, didn't know what they were talking about when they disagreed with you.

That's why. Had you been civil and posted documentation or links to your sources of information, I wouldn't have taken that tone.

On the other hand, I've made a mistake at the front of a popular thread before and I know how it feels, so your point that I should have read it before commenting is well taken. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. In that respect, I apologize. For the rest of it, I do not apologize and suggest you reconsider your "Diplomat" skills.

I did not know he was a researcher, I thought he was just some random guy. When I found out he knew what he was talking about, I apologized to him. But even throughout the whole thread I got nothing but insults from people right after my first comment which wasn't meant to be "condescending"; "you don't know what you're talking about"; "shut up and read your weekly reader"; of course I'm going to sound "condescending" in my replies.
