Speaking for myself, yes I really did get mad (as in angry). Surprised the hell out of me too.
I took him for a troll at first as I haven't heard views like that expressed in real life. Bruce pointed out that wasn't enough to make him a troll, but from then on I just got madder as much due to frustration as his opinions. He generalised, didn't answer questions, didn't accept reasoned responses and wouldn't accept that personal opinion only goes so far here.
Some long time posters here hold views that are anathema to me - I'll still read their posts though. One of the reasons I started posting here was to be part of an intelligent, articulate and diverse community (regardless of how little I have to contribute). I'm glad I learned I can still get riled. I just don't need to take that particular topic any further.
