Perhaps insulting wasn't the word I meant. More along the lines of antagonising I suppose?
What I mean to say, is that while you may have not liked what he said, there is zero point in brushing him off with "Well he's probably making it up like usual." Why say anything at all? Why not just ignoring him instead of making a statement purposely designed to elicit a negative reaction. Just because you feel he did it first? That seems silly.
His statement, while clearly a shot at the people that have made that claim, was true, go back and look through the thread. I didn't get he impression he was accusing everyone of that at all. Certainly not you, nor blankall, have been guilty of that (so far as I'm aware).
Anyways, I don't mean to pretend to be the decency police. I apologise. I just think (from what I've seen from your posts) that you're capable of a lot better than that.
