There never was berating on my part, nor was there a rebuttal. If you can unserstand that then you should be able to understand why I asked the question.

I'd liken it more to elaboration on the phenomenon. Why berate it? I find this much more helpful for explaining than a one-liner of relatively high level of platitude or blandness, if you pardon my french.

Berating responses in general follows no real guideline and can be good as well as bad. I know because I see myself do it well and like an idiot. I also see others do it to lesser or greater extent.

You may do well to just ignore anything that zen says unless you find actual meaning in it. His response to you was an attempt at an intellectual "I know you are but what am I?" retort. That combined with the cheap shots and general derogatory statements tell me that zen prefers to be destructive instead of constructive, and that maybe there's a deep-seated self-loathing that he is still working on while taking it out on innocent other-selves seeking here. Unless he offers more than a negative attitude I prefer to leave his opinions be.
