A long shot this ... but that could be where you went wrong.

You do realise the first rule of the sin bin is never admit you made a mistake ( even if you did) as some pedant will pick up on it and it will be thrown back at you in perpetuity.

If it were me I'd edit my first post on this thread and change the title to something like "Bombs in Texas? No of course not, don't be ridiculous, its just an explosion of poop" or something...

Actually, "poop" sounds funnier than "shiite" so put "poop".

Can you have a word with Dally?
He needs to know how to admit a mistake.

But why would a pedant pick up on it? Pedants, surely, are interested (inter alia) in picking up on minor mistakes or correcting trivial errors for the sake of it. Call me pedantic, but I can't see the connection between admission of prior errors and pedantry.

Even if that was the case, it couldn't be thrown back at him "in perpetuity", as the OP is unlikely to live that long.

But he didn't say there was a connection, merely that some pedant might do it.
Being a pedant is not mutally exclusive with mentioning an admitted error.
