I get this all the time. Too often I'll even get someone trying to pick a fight with me, but if they actually read my post they would find I agree with them. Either that or they'll bring up a point I already addressed in my post.
There's a certain point where if I feel someone's not comprehending what I'm writing, continuing the conversation is a waste of my time. Even insulting them would require literacy on their end.
It's gotten to the point for me that I just block anyone who clearly has no reading comprehension skills.
If i'm invested i'll just quote the bit they missrd back at them. If not, i'll downvote and move on.
