As to the bolded part, if you worded it in such a way as to be a possibility, it would not come across nearly as arrogant. You biases were clearly present in the post that I questioned. Instead of acknowledging it, you deflect. Have some integrity and back off your position. This is a good start if you want to be taken seriously.

You dislike my posts because you disagree.
No one else here qualifies their point of view with, "I think..." You certainly don't.
Yet you demand that I become the first to do so.
This is not the only time and place that I've discussed politics.
I have gone in other places with the tone that you are demanding. It comes across as mealy mouthed and unworthy of attention. and when I see other people getting so deferential with so many qualifying clauses in their sentences, that's the way it comes across to me.
If you agreed with my posts, if you agreed with my overall point of view, you would find nothing to complain about in terms of my grammar or tone. The person who first brought up Zelinski saying that he had no idea the money was missing ended his post with "case closed." Was that unbiased? Was that modest? Of course it wasn't.  But you didn't push back on that guy. I pushed back on him, then you pushed back on me.
I'm not mad at you for disagreeing. But I'm surprised after all your claims to be more intelligent than me that you can't just say"I disagree" and leave it at that. Instead you dangle out these carrots of possible respect that you'll never actually grant, as if I want your respect anyway.
