I could do that, yes.  But it would go against my motives.
Your way is to dunk on people and get positive rep points from third parties. I don't actually care if I get positive rep points, I just didn't like negative.  And I don't want anyone to feel bad, whether they agree with me or not.  
My motive is to help people agree to disagree and respect each other, in these divisive times.  So I'm going to ask questions rather than bash people.  That's why we are always butting heads.  You are coaling up a big ol train of hate, and I'm trying to detail it.

Aaaaaand we're back to reputation. Again. My way is to simply talk about what's interesting to me, yours is to compete to prove how oh so brilliant you are. Since you didn't get the upvotes you wanted to validate your self image you now have framed (in your mind anyway) our interactions so that you are the peak of nobility and I am the big evil meanie. Because for some reason I'm the guy you want as your measuring stick. Yet you yourself just admitted that you are motivated to NOT be your genuine self, so...disingenuous you are and remain, and that's why we butt heads.
