By repeating yourself repeatedly, do you hope that will somehow make
what you say true?

This is an excellent example of one of your posts, which usually have
some form of contradiction in them.  Let me point it out if it isn't
obvious, first you say you should be corrected when you miss a point,
then you assign a character flaw to anyone who does.  Then you are
complaining about agressiveness while being passive-agressive yourself. 
Hope this helps.
