I noted facts about him. I also own my mistakes. When he nit picked some 
wording of mine, for example, I owned my error.

To me they are the same: if you are going to judge by color than be 
consistent. I reject doing so.

I mean merely what Carroll quoted: using grades and the like. Anyone can 
have a bad day, and a great student can be a poor tester (and a poor 
student a great tester).

I happen to be a very good tester... but I know that does not mean I am 
better qualified than some poor testers.

I have no issue with you not supporting your views... just do not expect 
me to agree with unsupported views. I am very much tied to evidence and 
support, science and data.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
