Nothing I said was quote dissection. I quoted three whole paragraphs in order to make it clear what I was responding to.

You were obviously dismissive and again, I am unironically asking you to ask yourself why you thought that was the right tack. It's also incompatible with actually wanting to discuss this, so please make up your mind about how you want to engage with this comrade here. Is it frustration venting targeted at me or are you talking to a human that's respectfully disagreeing? You can't have both.

I disagree that I'm talking past you. I'm actually trying to address exactly what you're saying. Quoting you is part of that - the thing that you believed was good enough reason to personally dismiss me. If you think I'm missing your point, nobody is stopping you from communicating that productively.
