You're right, 'skimming' the issue is hardly the appropriate way to deal with it. You would have to take five minutes and READ concentratingly the thread opener.
As mentioned in the inter-german correspondence since then, the discussion is about the refusal of the german Wikipedia hierarchy to accept also critical weblinks on their pages, not just neutral or acclaiming ones. This is something normal in e g anglo-saxon countries. Cf down on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_B._MacDonald .
The replies from Germany were an insisting type of pretending to 'nix verstehn' ('not understand'), although they did understand - no doubt. How do YOU react when people try to treat you this way? Some sarcasm could be among the choices at one's disposal, according to my logic.
Why you have chosen to react emotionally instead of rationally, I don't want to speculate over at this time. However, wouldn't you be free to correct this attitude at any given moment?
