Your back-pedaling was clear.
Absolutely - provided you define 'back-pedaling' as
correcting the erroneous statement you attributed to me.
i don't know how to break this to you, but the person
you're talking to is insane.
More on the Arny Kruegers of the on-line world, from a

As usual, the cited article says nothing about me or people like me. It does
however describe a number of other RAO regulars, past and present.
Money quote: "the Internet troll exists by the grace of
those who give him a voice; without that, he is nothing."
Not bad as it stands, but it does not include the fact that one gives a
troll an added voice by responding to him. IME, this is a critical piece of
wisdom.
The article itself shows quite a bit of wisdom, some of which John would do
well to put into practice. Maybe in his next life... ;-)
