Dear Ryuji,
I am PhD in colloidal science and an emulsion maker. As I understand, you are involved in chemistry as well. Since I am on the list I came to know that most of the participants need practical information and like to understand what is happening in their experiments. On the other hand, most of them don't give a crap for exhaustive deep scientific statements. I think what might have been taken as "rude" is the gap between your arguments and what people can understand from it. This is not a phys.chem. list, so if you step into it, maybe you should try to make your knowledge reachable for your audience (for example, "...elemental sulfur cleaves the ring and make polysulfide ions of various lengths ...", half cell potential concept , ...).
You won't be less rigourous with a pinch of teaching art. I am sure your knowledge is interesting for the people on the list.
