I'm not sure what I said to warrant the attitude from you but probably you can frame your arguments in a better way if you want to continue the discussion.
If you disagree, make an argument. These sort of obstinate replies add nothing to the conversation.
You're not making a serious attempt to engage with anything I've said so far, so I don't want to keep arguing with you.
You're clearly not interested in an honest discussion, so I'm stopping here.
I can't continue a discussion with someone with your attitude. You're not reading what I'm writing carefully, or providing meaningful answers yourself. You've just classified me as someone who needs to be talked down to, and proceeded to talk down to me.
You are arguing in bad faith, raising non-issues with obvious answers, making it unfortunately pointless to have a discussion with you.
That's a bit rude isn't it? Please consider instead choosing not to reply if you don't want to discuss a topic.

You claim not to be angry, but you are engaging in a very bad-faith version of a discussion. You generate straw-men in each discussion and read everything in the worst possible way.

Ah, I get it now. You're just looking to argue. Feel free to carry on without me.
