Except that wasn’t all I said. This is not a court case, I don’t have to go into details on why I have that opinion. Comments are just comments, you don’t have to say more than what impressions you had of the article. There was also no implication of moral or intellectual superiority, you’re projecting your own dim view of why someone might criticize an article. Just because I found the author’s claim unconvincing doesn’t mean I think I’m better than him. It takes a lot of arrogance to assume that’s why I said what I said, which is to say, you’re projecting your own arrogance onto me. Everyone in the world doesn’t share your (lack of) morals.

You had no reason to think that, pulling things out of thin air about me, which is called slander. In my case, the author’s article was linked and I read it, and expressed what I thought of it. I’m not obligated to say why because others here have already stated various reasons. And in fact, I have basically indicated my reason by saying the evidence was insubstantial. The author made a claim: that CL is the best language and then didn’t offer up evidence that was up to par with the claim. Using words you don’t understand doesn’t make you look smart.
