That's fine when it's a difference of opinion, but, on this occasion, it is a deliberately dishonest representation of information another poster kindly provided him with and Tal has then had the nerve to state that his sig is what the other poster said.
While I agree with you about a person's right to voice their opinion, I cannot see any reason to defend a person's right to dishonestly represent another's words. I also believe that this is against the forum guidelines i.e. debate in good faith.
