I didn't think we were in a fight I could declare victory over. There was no "bait" to rise to. You said something extreme. I attempted to show it was extreme and that you probably didn't mean to make such a broad statement about your political priorities. You then replied that I was right, and that you didn't mean it as a general statement about your position, only that this particular issue under discussion didn't affect your vote. My argument (which was neither a logical fallacy nor used incorrectly) therefore achieved its purpose. That's hardly a slight on you or anything you need to be defensive about.
