Re: "He is not criticizing you, he is critiquing the article you post which was written by someone else.
Hey, when I post an article that folks criticize, I take it as having at least been interesting enough to read. The worst thing is to post an article and only get crickets in response.

Nemo posts so many things each night that it's unlikely that they'll all get read. I always consider the headlines at a minimum. When the headlines are interesting, I read the articles. Sometimes I find an article to be really good. I've even gone so far as to post such articles in full on this board. Other times, they turn out to be rubbish. I'll usually comment either way.

I don't think I was critical of Nemo in ANY of the responses that set him off... not until he went on the attack, at least. As you said, it was the article I'd criticized, not the person who posted it. I kind of felt like I was blindsided.

Ah well. I'm happy to see that things are calming down now, though I think the damage done is permanent. I will not stop correcting factual errors when I see them. I hope others do as well. It keeps the board quality up.
