Whie I suppose my wording when I said

In your case, you were quoting him and directly contradicting, which is a different scenerio from stating your opinion on the subject at hand, as Baron Munchausen was doing.

may have been a bit poor, a direct quote is irrelevant; the relevancy comes from referring to another's post and contradicting that outright.

BM's post is not a different scenario (at least, not different enough in regard to this issue to be a relevant difference).

Sure it is - he was responding to Atrocities asking specifically for positive opinions (and he gave one), while you were criticising a workaround for a bug someone was complaining about.

By the way, the "=0=" is a section break, as I thought I made very clear. Different sections were not parts of the same argument, and so should not have been bunched together. Please do not do that in the future. They were deliberately separated for a reason.

What Ragnarok said, plus the fact that you referred to the first section from the second, so they clearly aren't too terribly separate. Besides, I was actually just running through your post and intserting

anywhere I wanted to say something. I actually was treating them as seperate sections; you just didn't notice that.

About "points"... I was giving out a free s? Actually, you seem to have (marginally) addressed my other point(s), so... yeah...

I do belive this is the first time I have seen you directly admit a mistake - even as weak an admittal as it was.

Is there any point in continuing this? We have bloated down this thread enough already...

Sure there is - it's fun; besides, I have said a few more things you might want to respond to. Also, I was editing a post of mine when you posted, and you may want to address it, so I'll repeat it here:

My main point was that Posts are statements of opinon, not factual reports. Do you agree or disagree with this?

Edit: And come to think of it - I did address that one a bit, I just didn't word it so that it was entierly obvious that I was addressing it: I mentioned that BM's case was a different scenerio and I talked about the format of your post.

Also, you didn't address an earlier question of mine:

Besides, you were saying outright that his solution was a bad one, offering no solution of your own, when he was trying to be helpful (to someone else, no less). How is that not picking on him?
