| I know you have the benefit of never making mistakes,

  Let me know when you have cooled down so you do not make or at least post
  this kind of stupid insults.  FYI: When I make mistakes, I am not averse
  to being corrected at all, in whatever way it seems appropriate, but I
  when some fault-finding asshole finds faults that are not even there, I
  conclude that it can only be malicious because it takes so little effort
  to pay sufficient attention to avoid making the mistake of accusing
  others of making mistakes they have not made and if you take the trouble
  to post a correction, you better be damn sure it is _more_ accurate than
  what you correct.  It this really too much ask?  Is it really productive
  for those who mistakenly "correct" others to try to defend themselves by
  attacking the one they have false accused when they should instead
  apologize for carelessly jumping to wrong conclusions.  Returning insults
  is pretty solid evidence that the false accusation _was_ malicious.
