Since you’re arguing in bad faith

That's like... Your opinion, man.

and treating me like an asshole,

I felt like you argued in bad faith and explained how I came to that conclusion. Please don't invalidate my perception.

I’m not gonna bother reading and refuting your childish insults

Way to go proving what I figured: That you're doing the equivalent of "liking the sound of your own voice". You're not engaging in conversation, you're trying to lecture me. I don't consider that respectful. When I point that out, you claim that I argue in "bad faith". Seriously?

Then read the arguments I made and adress them. You're smart, you'll figure out which paragraphs contain arguments.

The fact is that text has no tone of voice, and you interpreted a neutral comment in a negative way. That’s on you.

Never claimed that it had a tone of voice. But the way written text is structured can still convey the feeling that you're not being talked with, but rather talked to.

It's less about tone, but "reading between the lines".

Just because someone respectfully disagrees

I take issue with the word "respectfully". Don't invalidate my perception, please. I also explained why I felt like that.
