OK, let's try to help out here. This time, let's take it step-by-step...

@FoldnDark: We disconnected yesterday. Sorry, I was in an argumentative mood. <para>
You don't need to explain
why you were in an argumentative mood. That's oversharing, and needlessly pads out and muddles your point. It's easier for the reader to explain what happened, then apologize, than vice versa. This order allows both sentences to stand on their own. In the backwards order, the sentences don't stand alone, and the reader is forced to "push state" to follow along. This apology isn't part of your point, so you should set it off in it's own paragraph.

Right now, you obviously don't have an 'ear' for written English. That's OK, written language isn't natural, it's a learned endeavour. Improving your 'ear' is an iterative process.
As a native speaker since infancy, you already have a preternatural 'ear' for spoken English. One technique for improving your written 'ear' is leveraging your spoken 'ear'. Obviously you don't speak like above IRL.

calling **** racist and dog whistles...
Ditto. Also, avoid gratuitous scare quotes.

Ditto. Avoid multiple repeating redundancies
. OK, let's put it all together...
