it's not the tone (although you're right in that I said that word, once) so much as It's that you actively don't follow the DB advice and you don't admit it.
Is there one DB advice?
I thought the fundamental principle of "DBing" is "do what works, reject what doesn't work".
This follows that what is DB in one situation will not be DB in another, depending on the effectiveness of the approach.
I would agree with this. And I don't understand anyway why an alternate view would be so threatening, when everyone here is only trying to help.
