Here are some examples of less aggressive, or more tactful, ways of saying the same thing:
It seems to me that you don't want to talk about this
I get the impression that you don't want to discuss this point
Apparently I am not supposed to discuss this point
Is there any reason why this point cannot be discussed?
Etc.
True!

Is very healthy and nice to discuss with facts, even if you are learning about an ereader you don't own or use, but it looks like some people cannot win arguments without insulting and being passionate. I think is the direct results of ignorance and not having a solid argument to use.
