Personally, I don't care very much if you say somebody is an idiot, or if you imply it. As you yourself said, it's the internet. And when somebody is openly behaving like that, it saves time (no point engaging).

No, for me the problem lies in you bashing "click-fest" games. Not only what you write is false, but it is uneeded! Why even brought them up? Why even make the comparison?

Click-fest game just means that the game is fast paced. It does not mean it is mindless. A good click-fest game is well designed, and its fights can be meangingful (you don't need much exposure to have strong meaning) and challenging.
Personally, I enjoy more and more games like D:OS, and less and less fast paced games (FPS for instance) because I'm growing older and I enjoy less and less the stress those games induce in me.

Good gameplay requires a lot of thoughts to develop, regardless of the genre; and the talk you have in Cyseal does NOT make the fight system in Divinity any better (or worse). It is a false dichotomy: you don't have to suffer additonal dialogs in order to enjoy better fights. No relation.
