If you downvoted, maybe offer constructive criticism? I feel like you're shooting the messenger, when we should really be shooting (metaphorically) mainstream philosophy for not recognizing the places where these questions have already been solved, rather than publishing more arguments about Gettier problems.

I didn't downvote! And I am not shooting the messenger, as I am also sure it is not and argument about Gettier problems. I am sorry if the post offended you - maybe it is better not to mix different views of something.

I believe Manfred is referring to downvoting your post, you being the messenger, etc.
