I've Been Caught Correcting a Mistake

Exactly, I guess it’s the fact that the footnote comes after the discovery of the edit which may give Charles’s enemies more ammo. In my perfect world, Charles would have noticed that his opinion had changed over the years on this hot button issue, mentioned the old post and the reason for the edit and taken the flack for that.

Again, I don’t agree at all. First, there’s no way to do this so that it would avoid giving ammunition to the enemies — they don’t need ammunition. If they can’t find something real, they’ll just make something up, or twist my words to find some way to attack. It’s absolutely pointless for me to start changing how I do things because of what the enemies will say.

I corrected an error. And if I see similar errors, I’ll do it again.
