> "The thrust of my letter was Daffy's presuppositions. You did not address these but presented your own view of some of my content. This is really using a red herring logical fallacy to divert attention away from the presuppositions I had raised."

Yes, I gave a "view of some of [your - OzSpen's] content", so did not address any alleged presuppositions.

In addressing *your content* directly, I did not apply a red herring.

McReal,

You wrote: "In addressing *your content* directly, I did not apply a red herring".

I think that you need to read again the content of a red herring logical fallacy: http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/red-herring.html

It does apply to what you did.
