Oh. I thought the irony was that you were figuratively and literally wasting energy by lurking on this forum devoted to gaming, while simultaneously posting that you believe in conserving energy. You are seemingly advocating a lifestyle to which you do not subscribe. Pete thought that incongruity was hipocritical and ironic.
When you start dancing around with "supposed beliefs" and "your manufactured stance you gave me exsisted" it sounds like either you are not clearly stating your positions, are stating positions you do not believe in, or are that you are unwilling to defend.
If you are not clearly stating your positions, then perhaps you would reduce the amount of tension in your communications by previewing your posts to insure that what is written it a clear statement of your beliefs. If you are stating positions that you do not believe in; that is what we call trolling. If it is just that you have stated your beliefs and are unable or unwilling to defend them, well you can just communicate that and then let it drop.
