Wolfgang - You started this drift by saying, " A simple three word sentence like 'I stand corrected' or 'I have erred' is often better than trying to defame the one posting in opposition to one of your points."

Guess what. You don't get to tell me what is better. You aren't my mother, my father or my teacher. This is commonly called unsolicited advice. Now that you have admitted that you were wrong, you still haven't given me any credit. Instead you say:

"Fine way of arguing, Dianavan, to make assumptions about the psychiatric diagnosis of someone you disagree with.
I prefer to discuss what has been said and not to make diagnoses of a personality."

I already said: "I let it go because I didn't want to argue about something I didn't think it was particularly important and I also know that if you bothered to contradict this minor point, it wasn't worth the effort to try to change your mind."

So give it a break, Wolfgang. Take a downer. If you continue to harp about minor details and constantly bicker about insignificant details, I will conclude that you are obsessive and compulsive. BTW - This is not a psychiatric diagnosis as I am not a psychiatrist. Its just common slang for someone who is a nitpicker.
