   That's right. Just like Corey made a judgment on your little exercise   
   that you didn't like.

   I wouldn't say it was awful. Are you going to start with those logical   
   fallacies again?

   Of course I do.

   This isn't what I was saying. It's the part where you tell him what his   
   "best hope" is that I am calling into question. Who are you to decide   
   that on what little you know? It's akin to armchair psychology is what   
   you were trying to do.   
      
      
      So I can see why you would feel it necessary to

   Oh, you mean like you criticized Corey for making a judgment on your   
   little exercise being childish?

   I wasn't saying I didn't understand, that's you and your strawman.

   I am basically saying that you have no authority to tell Corey what his   
   "best" actions might be based solely on your reading of his usenet   
   posts. Especially when he hasn't even asked for such advice to start   
   with. I'm not saying you should or should not post what you will but   
   that doesn't mean what you post should be taken seriously.
