    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?
