I'm in denial about what? Could you be more specific? I like getting frank criticism but your current statement is a little too general to be useful from my perspective.

It seems to me that you have pigeonholed me even when I said I only thought I disagreed. I can feel this impinging on my rationality. I didn't have a firm stance on anything before your comment, but now saying "Konkvistador is right" seems like backing down, and I'm somewhat averse to doing it. (Nothing that would be very difficult to overcome, I'm just explaining how I think you've made me less rational.)
