You've been pretty rude yourself at times. Not that that justifies
anyone's lack of civility, but it does provide context.
The reason people attack your work is that you do not have a grasp of
what constitutes a mathematical proof; you insult the people who
patiently try to work with you; and you resolutely refuse to take just a
few months to read a standard undergraduate text on abstract algebra, in
order to acquire the standard set of terminology and concepts needed to
converse with other mathematicians about the subject.
These are my observations based on several years of reading your posts.
