That’s a misleading thing to say when you:
- didn’t follow the instructions Elliot gave
- didn’t solve the problem
- posted disagreeing with Elliot on this issue
- received criticism (that links to the first of 3 posts)
- didn’t reply to the criticism
Your comment now acknowledges or addresses none of these things. I doubt you will seriously dispute that my five points are true, so the situation is weird (maybe you just didn’t think about it?). Your comment now appears intended to imply that you did follow the instructions and solve the problem, which is false.
