Just because I stepped into your fight doesn't mean I took either side, and it is presumptuous of you to assign me to be "a friend" of anybody at FR.
My comment was simple and direct. Making fun of people detracts from FR, and you asserted that you were making fun of a poster.
I absolutely agree with your point that a person who is making an assertion is obliged to support it, or risk others doubting the assertion. And I also agree that apologizing is the right thing to do in many online circumstances.
I have supplied links to some of the offending posts. That's one of the reasons the WPPFF is so obsessed with me.
