Why, because I disagree with you?

Not at all.
This quote from you is part of the reason why:

Regarding stating opinion as fact, I feel it is a great waste of time to preface everything with "In my opinion." Clearly, I am writing it, thus it is my opinion. When in a discussion of morals or other non-concrete ideas, I generally take what everyone says as their opinion. This is a conversation, not a game of Jeopardy. I will continue to post my opinions without the opinion disclaimer, especially in cases like this.

Here's how the above quote comes across to me: "I'm too lazy to back up or qualify things that could be misconstrued. I expect you to automatically assume that everything I say here is opinion. Because I take what people say in moral or intangible idea discussions to be opinion, I expect everyone else here to do the same. So, I'm going to keep doing what I do."
And while you have made a few concessions, up to this point you have tried to impose your morality on me, assumed that I was patronizing you and stated that the high school information posted was done to intimidate. Plus, it sounds like you were trying to call me a sick person, though you have yet to answer my question regarding that. It seems like you're trying to make me out to be a bad guy, when 5000+ posts and at least a dozen people on here would argue otherwise.
So, to sum up, I can't take you seriously because you haven't shown that you're really worthy of my respect. You may not agree with what I did or what I say, but I don't think that gives you the right to do what you've done.
