Your posting activity really took off lately, eh?

mock·ing
ˈmäkiNG/
adjective
adjective: mocking

1.
making fun of someone or something in a cruel way; derisive.
"the mocking hostility in his voice made her wince"

So you think the OP was "cruel" ? Was it "derisive"?

I suppose it is all in the eye of the reader.

There is a very good reason I do not post in most of the flame war/controversial topic threads.
The same reason that, though I call myself a Heretic and I am indeed an Atheist, I rarely post in the Religion forum.

It's because I have had all these arguments years ago and I now see them as tedious.

I apologize if that isn't "progressive" enough for you.

On the other hand, I just don't give a damn.

Now, knowing this board as well as I do, that statement alone will get SOMEONE thinking, if not saying, that I am a misogynist because of it. And that is also indicative of how absurd this board has become.
