First I always thought it was the pot calling the kettle black not kenel.
And I for one never saw Eriq's original post as being directed solely at his
rating, it was a personal attack, and it was directed at one specific comment
which was "in my expert opinion", well he is an expert and is entitled to his
opinion, therefore I would conclude that you got an expert opinion. :-)
