havocman, I have read his responses.
Your rebuttal was not a defense of your position or truth, it was the mocking of his perceived financial status. It was an attempt to belittle and demean by insinuating you’re somehow better because you can afford them. You could have stated what your perception of the truth is without your deliberate and admitted attempt at ridicule, but you didn’t.
And that is what speaks volumes about your character.
I also freely admit that I can be a colossal jerk, but I would never ridicule someone over their station in life.
There. I’ve had my say and I shall leave it at that.
