Saying that your writing on the subject betrays your ignorance of the subject is not a compliment, backhanded or otherwise, neither is it an attack. It is simply a statement of fact from one knowledgeable about the subject to one who obviously is not.
How about you deal with the gaping holes I have shown in the thin canvas of your knowledge of the subject rather than proclaiming that my comments were “spit wads”?
We are talking about a forest, not a leaf.
Also, you cannot know what I know.
