I'm reminding you that this is what Jae does. Once he finds a weak spot he will press his attack. He probably understands his argument is ridiculous, but it gets you worked up so he'll double down.
You are not needling him in this thread, at all. You can argue that I was proactively "needling" him in the thread your quote is from, but that isn't happening here. You are getting angry with him. He always goes through spells where he will provoke anger, often over weird things.
I can't blame your anger because he is tarring Canadians as "traitors" over making purchasing decisions that are often out of their control. That's insane. I didn't respond because I could see what he was trying for.
But you'd rather faux-blame yourself and equate your anger with my "needling" him, than admit I had anything resembling a point. And hey, maybe I went a little far there and mistimed my comments, but I think you forget what he does, perhaps because it's not often aimed at you. This time it was. Congrats.
