Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do not have any opposing views to you other than the fact that I do apologize, neither am I angry.

It's ironic you'd post the definition of argument.  Under the definition you're personally choosing to use; yes, you're not arguing, but that's the layman's term for an argument.  You're ignoring the second definition, which is used in academia and the one I'm referring to.

Basically, the 2nd definition states that: an argument is a conclusion (idea, action, theory) reached and supported by evidence (statements/propositions) given in a logical order.

You're saying you're not arguing (a conclusionary action), and you posted a definition (evidence) to support your conclusion.  In other words, you're arguing whether you want to realize it or not; you have been this whole time.

I took a whole university-level class on learning/assessing logical arguments and argument forms, which focuses on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument
I can tell when people are arguing.  Also, you cannot argue about not arguing.  That is a contradiction, which is a conclusion that is always false.

If you're done arguing, then it would be wise to actually work on your actual appeal.
