I'm not exactly sure what you're objecting to here(or why).
I'm not objecting to anything, as anyone who can read the English language is able to see.
I was pointing out an obvious change in your posting pattern. Also, if you use the "Reply" button to one of my posts, it alerts me once you've posted. By using the "Hide" tags, you're circumventing that alert, either consciously or because you're not bright enough to understand how the software works.
Why did you see that as an "objection"? What does that say about you, that you see it as such?
Here's why. You said this.

If you'll still be claiming you weren't objecting, fuck you and your bullshit attitude. What else is there to say?

How is one supposed to simply understand how the software works in this instance, without being told about it?
I was replying as such, so as to make my longer posts more accessible. Instead of seeing blocks of text someone else wrote contained in yet someone else's reply when scrolling down a page, one is saved a ton of scrolling by the hide feature, included by a considerate poster.
I'll at least include some non-hidden quoted posts in my replies from now on, so as to alert the person involved whenever necessary. Thank you for pointing this out.
