I did. You've explained your opinion well in the new post.

I never mentioned that it would prevent me from being able to express my ideas
or opinions. I merely point out that my credibility isn't the same and therefore
wouldn't hold as much influence in their realms of building expertise.

I agree with you here as well. I suspect that I misread you because you didn't
pull Bryce's earlier post apart enough for me to see where you were going with
your argument. Your more recent post cleared up any misconceptions I had.
