Reply #31: Yes, I do remember you [View All]

and fondly so.

As I recall, we had a lively tussle over a position I had taken, and in fact I had overstated, and it took me a couple exchanges to realize that you simply wanted me to acknowledge the fact that I had made reference to an erroneous generalization several posts prior. Once you practically had to draw me a picture and hold a light on it for me, I realized what you were asking of me. You thought I was avoiding the issue but I wasn't. I was just slow realizing what you were asking.

You were right. ;) I could see that you simply wanted an principled discussion and thus felt it only fair that I comply with your request and acknowledge the offending comment and withdraw it.

I wish all disagreements could be dealt with in such a way. We are still on opposite sides of the issue but don't have to resort to personal attacks and can share a cup of coffee this morning. :D
