Dude, your style is somewhat persuasive but it's all rhetorical techniques - you use lots of false assumptions and imply facts that aren't true.
This statement here - you're doing it again. But a more concrete example was where you said "funny that the guy does this after making lots of money" - see, it's nasty, it's an assumption that's actually untrue.
So, I said that's false. Did you correct it? Nope. You throw out these assumptions when you don't know what you're talking about, and don't own it when you're wrong.
So - cut that out and get an actual discussion going.
Actually go read an article, think about the arguments made, and address the good and bad points.
Start by summarizing an article - "I think the author is saying X." Then, follow up with if you partially agree or disagree. Cut out this assumptive hand-waving rhetoric thing you do.
