Yes.

I'm not pretending. I made some silly mistakes. People attacked me. _I corrected the mistakes._ The attacks continued unabated. I guess good guys don't make mistakes.

Most of his replies to my posts were snide, hostile, super nitpicks, and ignoring my corrections. Oh, but that's okay. It's only when I return the favor that it's a problem.

He asked about practical use of the manufactured elements. I responded to that. He replied again completely ignoring that, repeating his spiel about practical uses.

His own reference proves me right about manufactured elements. He claims I was cornered. I was only "cornered" because people ignored my corrections.

My god. My initial comment was just that there's nothing wrong with the Fahrenheit scale for normal ordinary use by laypeople. In fact it was Jan-Erik who started the whole thing with his snide remark about Fahrenheit not being a "standard" temperature scale. 

Nothing but snide remarks from him:

And this:

"thought it sounded a bit high." Brilliant. Who could have guessed?

Amazing: A good friendly informative response from him:

Here's a case where he explicitly acknowledges my correction, repeats the bit about practical uses that I had already explained, and then writes as if I hadn't made the correction he himself explicitly admits!

There's probably more, but I think I've made my point. He did more than nitpick. He was gleefully hostile and ignored my corrections again and again. Oh, but that's perfectly okay because English is not his native language. Is that your point? I return the favor only mildly, and suddenly I'm the villain. 

My god. All I did was say that Fahrenheit was perfectly fine for normal ordinary use by laypeople.
