So you are annoyed someone who was wrong to begin with said you were wrong. :) I'm happy you were right!


No, the annoying part was being flagged to death, which cut off the discussion. I don't mind people telling me that I'm wrong. Sometimes they're right (but not this time).


Highlights something I'm annoyed with, the pernicious idea that truth can be determined by 'voting'


Truths are whatever you make them, as long as that is what you really believe. "Truths" rationalized by an entity holding conflicting information may need sampling to ascertain the origin of the conflict. That's where voting comes in handy, but it's not a perfect solution by any means.
