No, it is not a good point, but just an attempt to point out another mistake.
Or at least it seems to be.
If BWF says:
There's over 10,000 people on the forums who haven't made mistakes.
it is obvious to (almost) everyone, that it is about mistakes on the forum, and not about mistakes in other parts of their lives, even more while this entire conversation is about that. So there was no need for BWF to add explicitly the words: "on the forum", because everyone understands that, well perhaps except BB. Not sure if he really doesn't understand or just doesn't want to understand though.
Besides, not sure how other people think about it but the sentence:
There's over 10,000 people on the forums who haven't made mistakes on the forums.
looks / sounds a bit too much in my opinion, even if it would a bit more correct perhaps.
And even if it was not an attempt to point out another mistake, it's very likely something we all agree with, just as if I would say for example: 1+1=2. It is true, but it makes absolutely no sense to say it, because everyone knows that, so it doesn't add anything to the conversation.
So, BB, if I'm right it happened some times that people said something about your "overcorrecting" behavior, just a little while ago, and also a bit longer ago; Let me say this: Only if you are
100% sure that you know
100% of all the information which is in the entire universe and in the entire life, then , and only then, you might act that way. (not saying that you
should do so) But since you seem to know only a pretty small part of that, I think that many people would appreciate if you stop acting "overcorrecting".
I think there is no use in always talking about everyone's mistakes, and it's also not really important if people make a mistake now and then. What more important is, if one makes a mistake, that he is willing to admit that he made a mistake. Well, I think everyone will agree with me, if there's someone here on the forum who's always willing to admit his mistakes, it is BWF, even if he made no mistake at all. And that can not be said about everyone!
