Go ahead and point it out - but keep in mind: you approached ME. I didn't seek you out for a conversation on HFT. I responded in a decidedly lukewarm way because, honestly, your familiarity with HFT is not likely to impact my antagonism towards HFT.

Put another way - "I will entertain your statements on HFT but yours is not knowledge I am seeking." Your audience isn't necessarily hostile, but it's not necessarily inviting, either. Would you have preferred I hid that attitude from you?
