Unfortunately, the problem with your sentiments is that some people go absolutely bazooka if you simply choose to let subjects drop that you no longer care to pursue, let alone kill-file them, or ignore them.
Ignoring someone or filtering out certain threads is one thing. Deciding to let a subject drop because you do not want to answer critical questions and do not want to back your claims (which is a very accurate description of your behaviour), is something entirely different.
You were not ignoring *me*, you were ignoring my questions and my requests for proof for your claims.Thus, it seems that a certain list-member's rejection of your above sentiments - ie the rejection of the principle that one listmember has the right to ignore another list-member - is the source of the current angst among the rest of the listmembers.
