So you are making comments about pure mathematics. If you want to use imprecise language and not be corrected, you should probably go write a book review or something. In math, precise language and correcting someone or forcing someone to give justification for something is expected and completely usual. It would be bizarre when talking to a mathematician about mathematics if they didn't immediately correct or demand clarification and justification when you say something vague or incorrect or unjustified.
