> I said it early on that I see no problem with a bad faith question

Awesome! Got you to admit to it them! Now don't start crying when people accuse you of supporting asking questions in bad faith.

Just say "Yep, that is a totally valid thing to accuse me of supporting. I agree that you are correct in saying that I have no problem with asking questions in bad faith!".

You could have avoided all of this, if you just said that from the beginning.
