Of the many replies to this post, this is the best response (so far) because it promotes discussion instead of trying to presume, argue, or pre-emptively invalidate sdegutis's opinion.



I posted one of my reasons as a reply to my original comment, but I think it's going to get drowned out in all the requests for it. Irony?


That's not irony. That is just the expected result of not being forthright.


I think you mean forthcoming. I think he was initially fairly straightforward (forthright) about saying he didn't want to state his position (not being forthcoming).

It's a pedantic point, but there are implications about the character of the person you're talking about.


Good point, although I didn't even notice, and I'm probably the one who could have taken offense at it. So I guess my ignorance worked out as a win this time?


Lesson learned. Won't make that mistake again.
