Thanks for the insight. After looking into ’Vladimir_Nesov’s background I would tend to agree it was because of some issue with the phrasing of the parent comment that triggered the increasingly odd replies, instead of any substantive confusion.
At the time I gave him the benefit of the doubt in confusing what SEP is, what referencing an entry in encyclopedias mean, what I wanted to convey, etc., but considering there are 1505 seemingly coherent wiki contributions to the account’s credit since 2009, these pretty common usages should not have been difficult to understand.
To be fair, I didn’t consider his possible emotional states nor how my phrasing might be construed as being an attack on his beliefs. Perhaps I’m too used to the more formal STEM culture instead of this new culture that appears to be developing.
