People here just down vote you for disagreeing with them whether your points are valid or not. I think discussions here are mostly ego-based and conceding anything would be a hit to that ego

That, and I think that unfortunately it's becoming clearer all the time that a lot of people just have a deep-seated antipathy towards anyone who actually knows things. It seems to go beyond ego. No one expects the average person to know anything much about some specialized topic, but just the same, even when they are anonymous they will become furious when exposed to someone who does.
