Do you agree that the tone of your post is a bit nasty?

Yes. It's a combination of having little respect for the feelings of typically-wrong pseudonymous internet posters as well as faith in my own ability to look at incomplete justifications for sloppy reasoning and draw snarky conclusions.

Yes

Ok, and again my questions:

•You have faith that you're more reliable than those people.

Please quote me where I made that assertion.

•You have often failed to see through bullshit.

Sure, getting this kind of feedback is a good way to improve one's judgment. Do you seriously disagree?
