It wasn’t meant as an insult— the modern-lens defense of Freud just sounded remarkably like Peterson in a way that I found entertaining! I’m not particularly anti-Peterson, though I guess that might be the common view here so I can see how it might have sounded negative.

By the way thanks for all your great work! I’m honored to have been scolded by dang!

Aw now I feel bad.

Short comments admit of many interpretations, and the bias (including mine) is towards negative. That's my excuse!
