Alright, well that's fine as I said. I didn't expect you to agree me since you didn't the last time.
I was argueing with someone and was getting rather frustrated with them and they pulled you as an appeal to authority. Without thinking, I wrote that because of the fallacies I remembered (according to me of course) and that frustration ended up being misplaced and aimed at you. I was writing about you the same way I'd write about any other well known person, in that my opinion isn't particularly important. Like you say I didn't expect to actually talk to you again, not that it's an excuse. Normally I am careful to be able to back up what I say, in your case I went over the top and it was me who overreached. I should have simply said, "He made some errors of logic, in my opinion." I was too dramatic in my frustration. Poor of me to let my emotions get the better of me in debate.
Anyhow welcome back
Now I've gone through and read your posts agin, it's clear I had a very warped recollection. I'm about halfway through the mental self punishment ritual, I should be done by this afternoon.
