Just because you made yourself vulnerable doesn't mean it's OK to state incorrect/wrong things. The response to OP's posts are more valid and his tone is appropriate in expressing how wrong some of the original points were (IMHO).

I think people are willing to take criticism much better when it is phrased in a respectfully way, rather than an "I'm right you're wrong, here let me prove it" perspective. The OP may have been incorrect, but the best way to help him realize this isn't by yelling at him across the internet, but by politely pointing him to the science.

I agree. If OP is incorrect (I say if because I am not making a statement about his correctness) perhaps he was ignorantly incorrect. It's never good to start off with an arrogant, disrespectful tone without asking questions first. Ignorance is not the same as intentional deception.
