You need to develop a thicker skin and stop taking things personally, Jason. Learn to "disagree without being disagreeable," as they say.
At my workplace, I have received multiple death threats, but I take them with a grain of salt. You have to roll with the punches sometimes.

Telling someone to put down the video games on a forum such as this one is a backhanded comment at best, an insult at worst. It's one step away from "move out of your mom's basement and get a clue!"
The guy disagreed with you; there's no need for the ad hominem attack. If you think he's wrong, the most effective response is a detailed refutation of his argument that cites strong sources.
(As an aside, it's just not true to say that infantry has always been the "backbone" of "any standing army" that's "ever been.")

Quote:Though the infantry were looked down on by the cavalry, they still were the backbone of the Sassanid army, like any standing army has ever been. Now, show your evidence AND your source that MUST be a credible one ( Wikipedia and Rome Total war Barbarian Invasion do not count! )
