Now, normally I'd read through all this text and jump into the debate again.

But from what I scanned quickly when viewing this on my phone (Just so I'd have a better idea of what I was walking into later, when I do read it fully) it looks like this basically reduced to an argument/yelling match.

Am I right in this guess? 
I don't want to bother investing several hours into catching up just to learn that the conversation steered away from being anything that's constructive anymore. :/
