Look, The kindest spin I can give you critics is to guess that you never bothered to read the whole conversation before committing to your view. Presumably you are now too embarrassed to abandon your initial misinformed reaction, and have an uneasy feeling when reviewing the pesky little details that make up reasonable opinion.
I'm human too, and I make mistakes from time to time. This is not one of those times. I waited until I read and digested the conversation first. Now I'm on firm ground and feel no need to avoid the particulars.
