I don't care about your desire for your dictatorial rules in the exact and only means of which you will engage with information. That is also irrelevant.

Well, I do care about our dictatorial rules, and rule 2.7 says, in part

Links, pictures and videos in posts should be relevant to the discussion, and members should be able to participate in the discussion without clicking any links or watching any videos. Videos and pictures should be accompanied by enough text to set the tone for the discussion, and should not be posted alone

So you must assume people won’t watch the video. Your discussion must stand on its own.

Concise exposition  seems to be outside his MO.... one must must read whole libraries that he provides. When he asserted I wasn't an academic (I'm not), I just dismissed his approach as that of an academic snob, for whom I am not worthy to parlez with.

Yes. It is disappointing, as he may well have a valid and valuable perspective, or at least one that is interesting and worthy of attention. But we both know that claims of excellence on this forum often fall foul of the Dunning-Kruger effect. A concise summary of his argument would bring clarity and encourage some to explore his thoughts in more detail. However, since he seems to have self-detonated, I imagine that will never happen.

If you were introducing the wines of France to  someone, you wouldn't suggest them all at once, would you?

Only if they planned to share them with me
