I have no comment on the inaccuracy or accuracy as regards that one poster. But since you were (imo) inaccurate about the other two, my faith that you might be accurate about Laz is somewhat diminished. It is always hard to evaluate people who have been really beastly to you. I understand that. And I certainly think it would be human nature for you to categorize any and all of them in whatever way you wanted to. I haven't been that nice to you either (except in the eyes of certain people who would like to drive you from the face of the Earth, or failing that SI)- so I understand why you have in the past, and might in the future be inaccurate about me, as well.

We are all somewhat inaccurate, especially about people who really come after us. If you cannot understand those people, it is (imo) best not to try to characterize them, because you are the one who ends up looking foolish. There are abundant examples of that on this thread. I love it when people try to imagine what I am, or am like, they are invariably wrong, and what they say tells me an enormous amount about them. Which is lovely. It is better to receive, that to give, when it comes to characterizations, and people with whom you do not get along. Consider it vital secret information. Which it is.
