So when you're unable to make a point using technical merits, you
instead attempt to shame people into thinking the way you do?  And
then, like so many people these days, you seem to think that adding
"Just sayin" the end of something inappropriate you've said somehow
makes it okay?  The whole problem is that you're "just sayin" that.
