"Here's more evidence to support your idea" is perhaps the pettiest possible retort. Is agreeing with someone so hard?

Re-reading my comment I can see how it could be interpreted that way, I meant it more as playful jab but such are the woes of a textual medium...

I just thought it was amusing to present that theory in that way, when it's been brought up by Mr СССР himself.

I didn't want to make it sound like it's a new theory at all. I applaud your addition with the quote and I didn't read it as negatory at all.

His comment is actually a very good reply to the grandparent, which was making a poor job of supporting the argument.

Also, your accusation of his comment being petty is pretty ironic.
