When you treat what someone says like garbage, when you ignore what he has to say, when you don't answer his questions, HOW ELSE DO YOU EXPECT HIM TO REACT????? (Yes, I speak from experience, here.) Either provide reasonable counterevidence to what Yiri says or admit that, yes, he just might be right. Or would that be too much to ask?
