As I said . . . your sentiments are valid and I did see the point you are making . . . and I can see also that you are a little annoyed about some who "shoot the breeze" with little actual knowledge, not to mention those who seem to want to antagonise . . . it annoys me at times too . . . I have shut down my computer vowing never to return at least once in the past month.
Interestingly, another poster has a few minutes ago announced his departure for the exact same reason. Several other recent threads have expressed their frustration at the stupid arguments and comments we get. Unfortunately the dipshits will always be here . . . that's life. The rest of us who follow a thread and endeavor to add something of value have to put up with it also . . . but don't forget we're here too.
Simply ignore it . . . filter them out as you post and respond to those who offer something of substance. When a JW I met plenty of arrogant pricks . . . logic tells you some will end up here.
I still feel you might have gone about your quest . . . how shall I say . . . a little under prepared.
Stick around and modify your view a little . . . on balance it's still worthwhile.
