I do not know "too chatty" and other all things about StackExchange. On the other hand, I am not too happy about how StackExchange reputation scoring seems to work. I have frequented online forums since way before StackExchange came around. But, somehow quality of a persons knowledge and articulation has no bearing, while apparently people with tenure and quantity accumulated with excessive commenting have a field day. PS: One place you tell me I am confrontational, and now you tell me I should have confronted the user there itself. I am confused. I thought Meta is for such issues

Also, I keep getting negative so many times for well-researched, studied questions and answers. To be honest my experience of 'participating' on Stack Exchange sites is way below the technical php/ vbb forums I usually frequent. Back in the day I've written device drivers in Assembler and have research papers to my name, but it really bothers me how people act on Stack Exchange and reputation is awarded.

I have not confronted him at all. If you look at my comments I've just mentioned - 'What are you talking about?' He is way off-topic and just throwing unrelated junk. A wrong answer or a different approach to tackle an issue or question is understandable. An essay on his life philosophy has not applicability to migrating Chrome settings.
