The few days of no response from me led him to believe that he had fended me off with his logical acumen and command of the facts. Well, not quite...

“Kinda hard to argue with huh? I figured.”

This may be indicative of your problem here. You assume that my absence is due to the strength of your arguments (I will be kind and refer to them as “arguments”), whereas other, just as plausible, explanations are available such as- which is in fact the case- that I have a job and other responsibilities to attend to. If you happen to make a good point and I am around to see it and I have time to respond to it, then you can be assured that I will give you the credit you deserve. It hasn’t happened yet.
