You clearly decided to pick and choose what you want to respond to. That's no way to have an adult discussion, as such I won't reply to you further, otherwise you can easily advance any conversation into any direction you like.

Is it not normal to respond to only parts of a comment? That's why we developed quoting methods, right? Because, y'know, we may not have something to say about everything?

We have this fantastic thing called threaded discussion. There is not a direction for a conversation, but many, as is evidenced by the deeply-threaded messages on most technical boards (think Slashdot, not Digg).
