Says the guy who's been sarcastically propping himself up on a pedestal for two years. Pot. Kettle. Black
facepalm
Your use of the pot and kettle expression indicates you have no idea what it really means; it is intended to indicate that there are no real differences between two parties despite what one or more party may believe.
In this case, the expression is inappropriate and nonsensical and I'll give you a walkthrough as to why:

Maybe you have been out of this for a long time[...]
^ This was your initial smartass remark, intending to convey the idea that I didn't understand the burden of proof because I haven't been debating in a while.

Says the guy whose contributions to this forum for the past two years feature a stunning range of calling people anything from "gay" to "psuedointellectual"?
^ My response turns your insult around on you, and has the added benefit of being true. In recent times, the vast majority of your posts have been dedicated to randomly insulting people on their perceived sexual orientation, political affiliation, or religious views. Now, most of us tend to take this just fine, since it's part of your charm. But the reality is that it isn't productive or insightful and so the idea of you lecturing anyone on losing competence due to a lack of activity in the realm of sophisticated debate is enough to make most of us who know you make with the lulz.
So whether or not I've been sarcastically placing myself on a high pedestal has absolutely nothing to do with the chain of smartass comments you initiated and, QED, the pot and kettle expression is both inappropriate and irrelevant. Completely.
But I forgive you anyways. 😍

Now unless you have something substantial, you can admit defeat and move on to something else.
