In fairness, the person (OrphanWilde) playing the part of A in that little dialogue (1) gives at least one person other than WhyAsk (namely, me) the impression of playing dark-artsy status games in his comments and (2) has described himself in so many words as a practitioner of the Dark Arts. In that context, it's not so crazy for WhyAsk to suspect something of the sort may have been going on.
Perfectly fair. (Given that I get the impression polymathwannabe doesn't like me very much, I appreciate the neutrality of the choice to defend, however, so I'd prefer not to discourage them in the general case.)
I'm sorry that I gave you that impression. I may dislike your political opinions, but I don't dislike you.
Oh! Thank you for stating that.
It's not something to apologize over, though, in either case. I think there are perfectly valid reasons to dislike me. I think there are valid reasons to like me, as well. I tend to treat like/dislike as a preference statement, rather than a value statement. (Which isn't universal, but people generally tend to use the word "hatred" with regard to negative valuation.)
