You've taken my statement out of context, or you misunderstood the flow
of the conversation.

Dj said I was impolite and uncivil, here:

Being "contemptuous and demanding" was in regards to OP when I
said the following:

There was nothing uncivil or impolite by stating that, nor
contemptuous and demanding for that matter.

Dj then responded with this, where he indicated that I was being
contemptuous and demanding:

Again, I think you're seriously confused about the flow of the
conversation and are commenting on something else.
