And that is exactly why you should look in the mirror. Most of what
you are complaining about is in your imagination - the product of the
chip on your shoulder. I did not say anything like what you suggest
to myself, nor did I quote G:IttHW as a "gotcha" (In fact I noted
that it DID contradict ILH-1, and the rest was simply reporting what
it said).
As for the rest, shooting down suggestions without offering any help
to produce an alternative is not constructive, and saying so is
neither false nor ad hominem (indeed as a criticism of the content of
the post it cannot be ad hominem). When you did produce a useful and
constructive post I said so and I did not criticise it in any way.
