Most if not all of the forum participants you are ping-ponging with have tens of thousands of posts and years of playing the "forum game". It's a simple one. Take a response, twist the answer to suit their purposes, gang up on the poster en masse, get personal with the comments and insults...wash, rinse, repeat.

It's up to you how you might wish to handle this behavior. I find it best to state my case and move on. When you have the upper hand, why bow down to the miscreants?

Think of it this way. In the movie Jurassic Park, there's a scene
where a researcher sticks her hand in a pile of dinosaur dung, digs around,
and pulls out an undigested berry. I'm sure if I ping-ponged with these participants, I too may discover a berry, but to me, the price is too high.
