You never read the entire thread, did you ?
It evolved beyond the OP, with a final consensus on my part much different than the OP.
I even admitted when I was wrong when it was brought to my attention.
Why is it people on the internet today think any discussion that is so different than their world-view is just trolling ?

Well if you made a legitimate paradigm shift then my apologies, sometimes a shot fired isn't heard immediately by others.

Yes, that's true, I really didn't expect someone who started a thread in such a way to have a turnaround after a few pages of posts so I assumed the worst. But if the OP really did learn something then I am happy to apologize for my ignorance!
To be fair I don't think you were wrong in responding to the first post. It was ignorant and inflammatory.
That the original poster's position evolved over several pages is a credit to him but he probably should have asked the mods to change his original post to reflect that.
The thread title is also ambiguious at best, misleading at worst.
Not everyone is going to read through the thread with a title and original post like that.

It's all because of JadeStar
And it's why I like ATS, the intelligence level and diversity of people here is incredible.
