Ah. I think I finally get what you're talking about.

You're offended because I mentioned to someone else, as an explanation for why I had posted this thread, that somebody, somewhere in the vast world of the internet had basically presented me with an "argument from authority" regarding Mr. Donofrio.

You realize that I was probably talking about you (although nobody else on the internet would realize that, at least without doing an amount of work I would expect no one to do), and you're offended that I didn't actually name you and call your attention to the thread.

Honestly, I didn't want to bring you into it. I didn't want to mention you by name and publicly state that I had felt you'd made an argument from authority.

Not that a logical fallacy is a huge deal. Most human beings make logical fallacies.

Honestly, philman, I had no intention whatsoever of "trying to smear" you. I had no intention of involving you in that conversation at all, or of publicly identifying you as a person who might have made an argument from authority.

I simply mentioned that somebody had, and that that was what had started me on the train of the thought that made me realize that what Leo Donofrio has to say about himself is relevant for people to know.

I'm sorry that I offended you. It was inadvertent. I had no intention of specifically involving you at all. I do apologize.

I seem to have hit the nail on the head from all the backpedaling you're doing.

It was inadvertent.
Yeah, right! You're only sorry that you got caught, Dog Runs Circles.

Very stupid.
