You said "personal attack".  That is a direct statement of what needs to be
done.  Because what was being said was _not_ what was actually written by me.  I
_clearly_ said that I was evaluating this opening from the perspective of comp
vs human.  Yet when I didn't say that in every post I made (I hate to repeat,
but it seems that short attention spans make it necessary) then we end up in a
discussion about something that is irrelevant to the topic at hand...

Not if I was clearly writing that he had said something he had not said...

Nope.  I simply call it like I see it.  Eventually it is necessary to read what
you are responding to before responding, to keep on topic.
