I was merely acknowledging that I had seen the mistake. <br /><br />If your problem is with my accusation of the people at xkcdsucks being picky about spelling and grammar, I apologize. But it's true. Not all of the people, of course, but enough of them. And the ones that are tend to be prominent members of this community.<br /><br /><br />Regularjoe -- I had been implying that some people at xkcdsucks are rather petty with their arguing. Here is me posting a comment about the comic and why I dislike it, and here is rob accusing me of being an enemy of all free peoples, presumably because of previous disagreements I had with him several weeks ago. <br /><br />Essentially: My point is that some people here are petty, and my supporting evidence is a comment from Rob, who is being petty.<br /><br />But it's cool, you can attack me, if you'd like.
