The ones that most stands out to me are our interactions on this post and here after I had implemented a soft ban on us interacting.

The first is a conversation (in 2018!) involving a whole bunch of people, not just me; many of those people’s comments were just as critical, and some more critical, than mine.

The second was a brief back-and-forth, certainly not “hours” of anything.

I think that you severely exaggerate.

I previously had a soft ban on interacting with you in my posts, which meant I would only reply to you once because we had long threads that just exhausted me. I thought maybe that would be enough.

But I decided yesterday I was done and I have the karma to choose not to interact with you on my posts

What prevented you from simply not replying to my comment? Even once, never mind multiple times?

I’m not a coward

Well, I wasn’t going to say it, but now that you’ve denied it explicitly—sorry, no, I have to disagree. Banning critics from your posts is a cowardly act. I think that you know this.
