I took it as an insult to mean I was too stupid to understand his point of view. I tried to be polite thru the entire exchange even tried humor to diffuse his insults (sometimes humor doesn't translate online). Didn't work. Thanks for you input.

just wanted confirmation I interpreted correctly.

I think I got the better of him and that is why he resorted to insults. I sincerely think that ignoring our first time voters will be very detrimental to our party.
