John has blue hair.
I tell John his hair is blue.
There is no difference between labelling something of his doing and labelling his entirety.
Therefore, I said John is blue overall.
Oh foul logic, how I praise thee.
Nice analogy.
I would also like to point out for the benefit of others, since g-mark isn't here anymore, that insulting a statement and insulting a person are different. Smart people can say stupid things. I have probably said many stupid things before, although I tend to be willing to correct them if it's addressed.
It is also a distinction this forum makes. We allow statements to be insulted, because that's what can happen in debates. But we draw the line at directly insulting people, which is one of the many reasons g-mark has been banned.
