Side note: I’m not sure whether to be amazed, impressed or disturbed at how many arguments you’ve had with wedrifid. This whole line of conversation is veering into the farcical.
Well the bottom line is that he and I have a history here, a lot more than I realized a few minutes ago. And now he seems to be claiming he doesn’t remember our exchanges; it’s apparently just a coincidence that he needs to publicly announce—in essence—I’ve reached conclusions which are insane.
I remember that there was a lot of unpleasantness. Besides, you need to keep in mind that wedrifid behaved rather antagonistically towards me in this thread. Right out of the blocks, so to speak. I have had a lot of internet exchanges and typically people don’t start acting nasty until after there has been some back and forth.

Ah, I had not actually realized you characterized wedrifid’s comments that way. I just saw it as taking note of a potentially-useful object lesson.
If you don’t mind my asking, in what way did you find it antagonistic? Was it merely having your actions pointed to as a good example of what not to do? Perceived tone? Claiming that you were incorrect? Use of the Lw jargon term ‘insane’?

To be fair, those exchanges probably wouldn’t be particularly noteworthy from wedrifid’s point of view.
I concede that if he has personal exchanges like that on a regular basis, it’s plausible that he really doesn’t remember me.
Given these two statements, I’m surprised at your surprise.
What exactly do you think I am surprised about?
Your memory of the exchanges seems to have been hazy at best, and yet you seemed incredulous that wedrifid doesn’t remember them.

Actually, I do mind you asking. If you don’t care to invest the energy to answer my questions, I prefer not to invest the energy to answer yours.
