Are your posts to everyone laced with insults or am I just privileged?

Self-deprecation is a privilege indeed.

You asked, sarcastically, unless I am mistaken, Are your posts to everyone laced with insults or am I just privileged?

I imagine you intended this to go to me. No, I don't insult everyone. But neither do I suffer nonsense lightly. Do you normally put up with foolishness?

With respect, what you have written is shows complete ignorance of medieval history and culture. If you feel insulted by that, I'm sorry. I do not intend to insult but I do intend to be blunt about the quality of what you write. What you wrote was self-contradictory, self-refuting, uninformed. That is a studied judgment on the historical information and the reasoning you employed. I'm sorry that it insulted you because that means you still don't get the point: you need to do some actual study of the things you claim to know something about.

I pay you the utmost respect of taking the time to try to point out to you how uninformed your assertions are. You should not be insulted. You should be embarrassed.

And now I will compliment you. You sure are persistent.
