Nope; If you had actually read his rant with an open mind, you would
have seen that.
It's interesting that extremists tend to put everything in the terms of
"disagreement" instead of actual content.

Ah, the "all or nothing," "black or white" mindset of the
extremist--someone makes an error, and therefore they don't know
anything about what they're talking about. Sorry, but it doesn't work
that way.

Mediocre quality in your opinion. But like most extremists, you can't
distinguish fact from opinion.

Nice try, but your attempted diversion from the context of "Oh, point
taken..." didn't work. Just like most extremists, you have no
discernible sense of humor.

Yes, but like most extremists, you seem unable to understand that even
people on the same side of an issue don't have to agree on everything.

I can't claim that that's a great achievement; I'd have to be as slow as
molasses not to be too quick for you.
