Your admission that you spent twenty minutes trying to point out my unintentional error is more deserving of 'rebuke' than my mistake.
Fwiw I wasn't "trying to point out", I was "pointing out".

Regarding my "admission", what is deserving of rebuke? That I took the time to respond to your factually incorrect post, and that bcr typed out a similar response in the meantime?
By your own admission you DID NOT point out anything. You tried, gave up and deleted your attempt.

The only 'factually incorrect' part of my post was when I unintentionally typed Robert Willner instead of Robert Gallo. I corrected it.

You used the term 'rebuking' for my simple error. I found that laughable especially since you revealed a twenty minute struggle trying to point out my error.

Therefore I said your incompetence was more deserving of 'rebuke' than my error.

It would be better for you if I didn't explain my response in such detail. Your ignorance would have shielded you from embarrassment for what I actually did, in a polite way, was make a fool of you.
