To quote you "Did I Say That?"

To correct the record, I said just the opposite. See below

You left out:

"The reason I address you specifically, is that when a reasonable point
is raised, you have a good mind and will, it appears, consider it in a
reasoned way. And you have stated that correcting the record is a
motive for you. I am not sure it is for (all) others.** Others,
equally guilty of often going down the character road IMO, may not
have the same "correct the record" motives that you do."

Perhaps I goofed on that latter assumption.

I also had a footnote that I took out saying the others sometimes tend
to react viscerally and emotionally to suggestions, whereas, per
above, you appear to reflected upon them in a more considered and
reasoned manner. 

I took it out in that I was senstitive to not bash character in a post
in which I suggest not doing so. And the above, "the others sometimes
tend to react viscerally and emotionally to suggestions" I thought
perhaps too close to that line.
