Nor do I.
Here is an explanation of a rhetorical device: My correction of Greg's grammar has as much relevance to our allegedly shared work as does his psychoanalysis of my writing style.
Get it?
Except, of course, that my analysis was objective and sound.
While you're criticizing posts and sharing your opinions, you might wish to evaluate Greg's "kindly taken" exception for its "kindness" and its appropriateness to this forum.
And simply out of a sense of fairness, you might have weighed in on whether or not, in your opinion, I am improperly defensive about my work and less than confident in its value.
Thanks.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
