I should have said "That's offensive and untrue, and the rest of the post comes off similarly."

This is one of the very few cases where I feel the need to explain a downvote. The passage that you quoted and responded to was not worth the response. iDante's comment could be summarized as "fuck you!" — an otherwise contentless exclamation of hostility — so it should be downvoted without response.

(I also think meta comments about the voting system should be downvoted; but I can't downvote my own comment. Go ahead.)
