> Instead of creating a new thread you post directly to the author who responded to an unrelated message. Since the author is obviously responding to criticisms, why did you feel the need to expand a thread with a non-related article quotation you took issue with rather than start your own? It seems to me you wanted to ensure that the author read what you wrote because you felt it was particularly important for him to see it. I don't agree.

I have no idea what you are talking about. My comment is on the same topic as the head of the thread, and providing more details on that original critique.

I stand by my original assessment. I am not seeing a connection between 'the use of 'you' vs 'I' personalization and the effectiveness of the difference in using them' and 'a request to investigate a logical fallacy and the relevance of such fallacy to the article'.

And I stand by my original response: I have no idea what you're talking about.

I think their point makes a lot of sense, although they could have been less aggressive about it.

Your reply, while interesting, would work better as a standalone comment and doesn't really relate to the thread.
