Perhaps the marker indicating where you are is supposed to work it's way up the list? I don't think what you've said here - in this thread - has been unreasonable.

That comment also seems very reasonable to me and probably doesn't deserve the response it got.

The other one does make sense to me though (but would be better in a different context) and echoes my own personal frustration with the "don't be ridiculous" dismissal of concern for things going on in the face of a blatant pattern (which perhaps you don't agree is a pattern with your implication that the higher things in that list haven't been dismissed as ridiculous then immediately happened).
