    I think you’re getting attacked because this post is an accusation, first and foremost. It definitely doesn’t feel like it is positive or productive.

      Well that certainly gives people an excuse to tell ridiculous lies and take things I said out of context, doesn’t it?

      I mean people are saying shit like I claimed to be an authority. When? Where? I didn’t do that.

      And I did say I was wrong, but apparently that makes things even worse somehow.

        I get it. I think defending yourself against that is probably a lost cause, though, even if that feels bad not to.

        As for being an authority, personally, I see that. I think you made a statement and people, reasonably or not, assumed you know something more than they do. You post a lot, so why wouldn’t you know a lot?
