"There is No God Higher than the Truth" -- Gandhi

[Trailblazer]

I don't care when people insert themselves into conversations on public forums. That would be silly. What annoyed me is that you tried to make like my addressing someone else's position was addressing your position. Or as you phrased it, "knocking at your door."
