By the way, can you explain to me what you think it is that I am (or should be) trying to accomplish here?

I'm not so sure bringing this to people's attention is in your best interests.

What interests are you referring to?

I assumed you were playing a status game; all "oh woe is me, wedrifid is unfairly persecuting me for besting him in an argument (which is blurred by the passage of time and to which I will not provide a link)". In which case, bringing up that specific argument - in which you are clearly in the wrong - would seem to work at cross-purposes.

That's just the impression I was operating under when I wrote that comment, mind.

Lol, thanks for your concern about my motivations.

Anyway, I'm pretty confident that I was in the right in my previous exchange but I prefer to discuss it in the previous thread. If you see a flaw in an argument I presented, feel free to present it (preferably there). I promise to consider it in good faith.
