And as an aside, you were simply wrong.
Pointing this out is not 'smack talking'...it is simply pointing that, er, you were wrong.
I think he might be refering to comments like this:
"For the love of christ, now I understand why Sal is starting nonsense threads with allcaps and no punctuation. Not that his threads before had any great comic topics being discussed, but at least they were written in proper English. Look what you've driven him to"
It's fine to correct someone if they're wrong about something but in my humble opinion comments like that aren't necessary to the topic are they?
It was an amusing rant and it wasn't directed to anybody in particular and it wasn't 'smack talking' about anybody's collection.
If you can't take this sort of thing, you shouldn't be on the internet.
But the comment wasn't really necessary and that was my point. I'm not choosing sides on the subject as there are more important things in life .I was just showing an example of what may have offended him.
