Argumentum ad Homienum. Discredit the man, and you discredit his argument.
The fact that I discent and that I state my position in a forthright and forceful manner doesn't mean that I think I'm always right, Greg. I am aware that there are gaps in my knowledge and blind spots in my world view, as Skeptic so often reminds me. I try to take this into account in my dealings with the world outside.
I said: "No, I don't need you to think for me, but it is the height of arrogance and conceit for anyone to assume that only they (and others of like mind) have all the answers. I will utilize data from any source."
What I meant of course, was that I know I don't have all the answers., and my second line; "I will utilize data from any source." reinforces this.
That you chose to interpret it as refering to you is unfortunate but thats your problem.
As to your final statement, that's the sort of thing one hears at lunch at a Middle School.
