That's fine. Go ahead and be annoyed. But then get back to the hand. Is your assumption that MP=HJ and that the listed range actually representative of what happens at whatever you imagine an 8/16 table is? If it's not, then say, "Oops! I misread the position" or "This is probably too many hands for most 8/16 tables." Or if you really believe what you said, then reiterate it and say "In my experience, 8/16 table open-raises from MP look like this."

Then I got a little more annoyed when you ignored the point:
First, "the point" isn't something you actually said until *after* the post. So you can't blame me for not responding to "the point" if you don't make "the point" in the first place.
But can you also see how that's not actually "the point"? You can insert that statement into any thread at all and claim that it's "the point." It's not really about this hand at all. It's just some claim that you want to make about your assumptions about how to play poker. It's not about the hand range you presented, or anything specific to this hand.
(Not to mention that I actually argued in very specific terms against this claim. I don't even think it's true if you're taking "ideal" to mean GTO.)
I'm not going to continue doing a line by line with you, but if you're not able to see how your reaction is a little weird given the context of the thread, I'm not sure if any amount of words I use can help you to see it.
