you said that he sounded like that and i was commenting on that. i read your post. clearly you've formed an impression of me but i think that new members form impressions of the veterans based on the content and tone of how they handle newbies who disagree with them too.

i'm sorry you don't like me voicing my disagreement. i assumed that's part of the nature of a forum.
A couple of points here.
It's not that you voice your disagreement but how you express it. And, you are correct. Disagreement is the nature of a forum. But it should always be couched with a bit of humility. Your comment was not a general one but directed specifically to me. (I believe I was the only one to use the phrase snake oil salesman.) I made a comment on the video and you jumped to a conclusion that it was a criticism of Dave as a person. Your conclusion is wrong.
