You've lost me, sorry.

AFAIK, I was merely illustrating the point that your opinions were not particularly significant to me, in the same manner as mine are surely not particularly significant to you. I mean, are you going to change your opinions or habits or whatever, based on what I think? I doubt it. Why should you? I'm just some random stranger on the internet, right?

And my point was that this cuts both ways. That's all. No insult intended for either of you. I'm sure your opinions are meaningful to lots of people; I just don't happen to be one of them.

You should be banned from the board you represent.

Obviously something not difficult to do.

Illustrations require more than words, especially empty ones. It seems clear that opinions of others do indeed make a difference to you, as you seem to have a need to continue to provoke people with out justification. Perhaps you are experiencing decompensation and should get back onto your meds to stabilize your mood.

And my point was that this cuts both ways. That's all. No insult intended for either of you. I'm sure your opinions are meaningful to lots of people; I just don't happen to be one of them.

The insult was there, intended or otherwise. If you cannot see how your words are being construed by those you post them to, then you have language issues as well. And, again, if the opinions of those you continue to put down are unimportant, then stop putting those people down and making posts which result in further comment (which is exactly what you're looking for as you obviously obtain some sort of sick satisfaction in doing this activity).
