I guess we all post incorrect things at times. The problem starts when you
basically say in 95% of all posts that everyone who disagrees with you is an
idiot. (not necessarily with these words, but you get the idea) Of course you'll
get appropriate replies when you post something wrong then..

Vincent often gets harsh replies but since we're in kind of a vicious circle
here, I don't expect the style of posts to change in the future.

Sadly, accepting that one were wrong on a subject is hard for many people. But
w/o it, discussions are hard and it's probably more productive in such cases
that the involved participants play a 3D ego shooter against each other. :)
