One simple sentence would be sufficient.

Dude, why the hostility? You'd think one of us suggested that you should be lined up and shot...oh...no...wait a minute...YOU just suggested that about US.
What I want to know is, if you don't like philosophical conversations because you find them "esoteric, ethereal and unintellible", and you don't feel that you have a use for them, why are you even bothering to read this forum? Why not just leave it alone? No one here really cares whether
you have a use for philosophy in your own life. It just so happens that we do. I'm not sure why you seem to have a problem with that. But to go so far as to suggest that we should all be executed for it? Wow. That's over the top, man. You're the kind of person I don't feel safe having free in society. To think that if people like you had their way, we could all one day be "bumped off" just because we find philosophy useful in our lives. Welcome back to the dark ages.
Yours, with tongue firmly in cheek,
