Most definitely Samantha, the rules apply to me as well. Since interpretation is the
factor, my interpretation of Alfred's remarks was such that he implied that I did not
know all the stuff he knew and thus my arguments carried no weight. His implication,
in my interpretation of them, was that I was stupid, and that the fact that he knew
Vallee made his arguments better than mine (when Vallee is just another person trying
to grasp a multilayered phenomenon, as such even his opinion is just OPINION). My
interpretation was that Alfred was trying to show his innate superiority of position
in order to undermine opposing views, and as such felt justified in my satirical
comments about his post.
