Asserting "it's not that but this" is not "showing the full picture" like you say (said), but borderline spam that belongs to kindergarten. Which your edit perfectly captures.

What’s up with the hostility? You doing ok?

Thanks for asking, I think I do, yes. I'm not sure what you find particularly hostile about it - they edited out what they originally had to say, but even then, I'm not saying anything extraordinary.

Telling people they're acting childish and are not bringing anything to the table argumentation wise I think is pretty low on the hostility scale.

The irony of being called out as hostile after confronting someone that they're just asserting their opinions is definitely not lost on me. What a thread...

It’s more of a “yes, and…” comment. Namely, both are relevant, but previously only one side was highlighted.

Neither are "relevant" in my opinion, not yours, not theirs. Both are inflammatory, subjective characterizations from different ends of the horseshoe. These are never productive or insightful, and that's why I brought up "Their Blessed Homeland vs. Our Barbarous Wastes".
