Wrong again!
I wanted to expose, and attack, his practice of disguising a hidden agenda as some sort of valid and objective discussion. And, even if that is already clear to Zoners, it is nonetheless still best done by an open challenge and confrontation, because such an exposure must involve dragging the dirt out into the open. My problem with your post, was that you were talking about the shape, colour and usage of the shovel and spade (his manners, style etc.) rather than of the dirt itself.
