You're right, but I was wrong about the precise comments that spurred the response. I'll say this, your comments in that particular thread came across to virtually everyone as condescending and overly presumptuous. You may not have felt that way or intended them that way, but that's how they were received (almost universally).

So, given your statement above, wouldn't that call for some introspection?
