That isn't so. If you care to scroll through my history on this very forum, you will see an instance in which I admitted to being wrong with no encouragement from anyone. As soon as I received the correct information, I logged back into this forum, in fact, it was months later, and I admitted to my error.
If you go to my usual online hangout
www.iidb.org you will find dozens of examples of me admitting to mistakes.
Sorry pal. That one doesn't work with me at all. I am one of those internet oddballs who prefers to be corrected when wrong.

Ask what? Despite your protestations, nothing in your post would lead one to think that you meant it as a simile.

Either that or most of the people here don't give a fuck and those who do are jumping to your side of it because of the "style over substance" fallacy or because they "know" you or both.

...and now that you've taken that so far out of context that it isn't recognizable as anything I have ever thought, much less said or written.

What mistake am I supposed to admit to? Really. What mistake did I make?

Now that I know how old you are, I know for an absolute fact that I knew what a simile was when you were shitting in your diapers.
As I said, I had (some) formal education in writing. I was going to be a journalist until I discovered that journalists don't make too damn much, on average. It's a fairly flooded market, or at least it was in the late eighties/early nineties.
