If I am wrong (or even if not wrong) and someone corrects me (or fails to
with wrong information), that's not a case to make personal attacks to go
bitching. Now if someone makes a big habit of making wrong "corrections",
that should probably be pointed out. Matthew L. Martin, however, does not
fall into this category. What is does is merely assert wrongness (whether
there is a basis for that assertion or not), and either stops there (e.g.
does not add the "corrective" facts) or he continues with a personal attack.
Matthew L. Martin has so often been incorrect about such assertions that I
really have no way to know that he might be right in some cases that I don't
know the facts about. That's why so many of his posts don't contribute any
information he supposedly (claimed by him) knows. I would hope at some time
he'll realize this and adopt a practice that when he believes someone is
wrong, he will state that and follow it with what he believes is right, or
a logical analysis of why the statement he refers to cannot be true.

So are YOU going to point out _what_ was wrong, or are you going to begin
to follow Matthew L. Martin as a role model?
