You ignored the most important word in the message when crafting your reply. Which, amusingly, means you're exactly the target of that message.

I'm honestly not sure which word you're referring to.

"Knave." In other words, he said "if you're just a combative jerk, stay away" but you managed to read it as "if you disagree, stay away".

Knave doesn't mean combative, it means deceitful (or servant/worker which I doubt he means here). The most important phrase in my reading is "critical of mouth."

Also, reading a paragraph wrong doesn't make a person a combative jerk. Nor does being critical.

No, but going out of your way to be offended certainly qualifies.
