If you want, you can look at it from my perspective: I voiced a thesis that time, which was more controversial for some and less for others, and you ridiculed it, and then continued to troll me in all my subsequent replies. In short, you were rude to me, reducing the [immeasurably great] value of exchanging information on this topic to a clown show. I had already forgotten about it, but now you've started again. It's as if you're doing it on purpose! That's why I'm saying, please don't do it again, please. So, who was rude to whom is still a question.
Sorry, of course, if you were offended, but I will say the following.
you yourself continue the dialogue (and perfectly understand

I personally believe that this, if not outright rudeness, is at least impoliteness. Someone spends energy, considers something within their focus, in order to express their opinion, and someone doesn't care. This doesn't apply to cases like "a jerk rudely posted something," but otherwise, yes. Every time, it broke my heart when I saw in school or university how some nerd or geek was ignored, with all sorts of stupid giggles among themselves, or they were looking at each other in a group, discussing interesting topics, while he or she sat sadly in the corner, staring at the tabletop, and no one would tell him or her what page to read for homework until he or she was upset. Well, that's an extreme example, but it happens in different forms, towards different people. I'm not a big empath, but something like that offends my sense of justice.
In our case, however, as well-acquainted members of the "community" in a normal relationship, simply ignoring something that is directly addressed to you, even if it's a joke that you didn't appreciate, is just... well, it's just not done. On the contrary, the factor of familiarity should, logically, give a little more freedom in expressing one's feelings, which would not be available in communicating with a random person who would simply not understand anything, but just in case, would send you away as he usually does on the street with thugs. For example, how can I accept a derogatory joke, knowing that it's not meant maliciously, or how can you dismiss it as semi-offensive, knowing the same? I'm an artist, that's how I see it.
