Adam, I have tried before in private to explain to you that you are your own worst enemy. You have no internal censor. I'll be the first to admit that MajP and I don't ALWAYS see eye to eye but he never deserves that kind of response. Whether HE calls you down or not, I am calling you down for a disrespectful response.
You don't seem to get it despite all of us telling you, publicly or privately, that you are presenting a bad face to the world. And despite your prior PM asking me to not call you down in public, this is one that NEEDS to public.
Just remember, Adam, that politeness is the lubrication of the gears in the machine of human communication. I have tried to be polite but with you it is not working. You say (in another post) you want to be my friend. I am not against that idea, but friendly IS as friendly DOES (to paraphrase that paragon of earthy wisdom, Forrest Gump.) You want to MAKE friends, you have to BE friends (to paraphrase ANOTHER paragon, Will Smith as agent J in Men In Black).
If you don't get this message, you will continue to have folks calling you down and not treating you seriously. Yet I'm sure that you DESIRE to be treated seriously and I even can understand that motive. Asking to NOT be called down in public is a variant on "political correctness" - which is often just an excuse to stifle someone's desire to say what needs to be said.
Think about it. Don't slough it off. You have stated that you think I have some wisdom to share. Well, I just shared some on a specific topic called "relationships." And I don't mean of the database kind.
