Can you explain how they are confrontational? I do like debating but I do not intend to anger anyone.
Sure,
Lots of replies which don't actually address or respond to comments but rather attempt to put the other person down, example:
Attacking people's replies but then suggesting they replied to the wrong person (which one is it?)
Attacking someone's language/typing skills instead of responding.
Suggesting anyone who disagreed with you are "behaving like redditors"
These little put downs come across as attempting to belittle the person you're replying to and is a common way to "win a debate" by discouraging the other person from replying, in the absence of actually having a discussion.
I have no intention of winning anything. I am a IT and guess direct and to the point. Sometimes just being inquisitive. Though I do notice many over the last year have gotten more aggressive for just asking. I still don't see a issue with my statements. How are we suppose to understand each other if we don't ask questions?
Sure seems like it with your replies
