Yes, you can apply that to anything - since in general it's important 
that you know what you are talking about instead of regurgitating FUD in 
order to appear knowledgeable.

Whatever. I wasn't the one who was doing the insulting, and talking 
about things he didn't have a single clue about.

If you can't defend your arguments, just admit your error and move on 
... that would be the mature response. Just don't post this silly 
nonsense again if you don't want to be corrected. Sheesh!
