TBH, it probably doesn't even matter. I'm just curious.
At some point when you asked questions, got responses and then questioned the responses, for myself, and perhaps others, you stopped appearing like someone who was gathering information and started looking like someone who was trying to start a fight.
I have observed similar patterns with software professionals in face to face situations who are trying to glean limited requirements. Every question leads to another because in the back of their minds they are thinking about how to write/fix in order to meet the requirements. But the individuals who are providing the requirements often leave the room feeling beaten up. And the software implementer doesn't understand why no one is excited when they have a prototype and more questions the next day.
No harm, no foul. I had to learn the hard way that that technique should be used sparingly in computer mediated communications.
