I don't believe an apology is warranted from myself, nor would serve any positive purpose and would do nothing more than reinforce your psuedo self belief that you have been somehow wronged (which quite frankly, I don't think you believe at all - you're just trying to create an illusion. Poorly). You clearly have an objective in this thread, which is targetted at Jaymoss. Trying to make out you are the victim is not going to work. You are not the victim, you are the antagonist here;

I don't think it's unreasonable that one might read the above quotes, especially in the context of the comments they respond to, as somewhat intentionally antagonising or at the very least 'poking the fire'.
The first quote above is clearly a mis-representation of the point being made, creating a false, hyperbolic misunderstanding that mocks the statement or request it is responding to. Put politely, you're just taking the piss. At which point, you are doing nothing more than trying to draw Jaymoss into the discussion they already said they do not want to have, because you are digging to hit an emotive response. It's a bit Strawman.
The second quote you diverted attention away from your previous comments and behaviours and onto something else. Kind of "It's not my fault I'm saying this - go speak to that guy, he makes the rules.". It's like you're trying to brush your shoulders as you shrug them, turn down the corners of your mouth and throw your hands out to the sides palms up. However, you are in complete control of what you say, it's not someone else's fault, and if you get called out on something, don't try blaming it on others - you are accountable.
The third quote is again an attempt to elicit a emotional response based on a shoulder shrug, and a claim of ignorance to your prior comments. Again, I think you need to realise your accountability here. You shroud the comment of "I thought this is a forum where you can debate people's arguments, opinions and statements." with faux respect and acceptance of Jaymoss' comments and requests not to debate the faith by following up with "If the OP doesn't want this here then fair enough. If you do not want to respond to my questions then, again fair enough." but your intent has already been made clear throughout most of your prior comments in the thread.
You have been consistently attempting to provoke and draw into a discussion a person who has already been clear in their wish not to discuss a certain topic. Just leave it.
TL;DR- Stop trying to provoke Jaymoss
- You are not the victim here
- When you get called out on something, accept it
I'd also like to add that I don't think 'sinister' means whatever you think it means.
