I deleted my post around 4 minutes after I posted it, after having double checked and finding myself mistaken. I obviously believed I was correct at the time.

However you went on with all kinds of attacks in defense of your mistake which you admitted, thereby taking away from your admission of error.

Had you just posted
I deleted my post because I was mistaken.
and not added one word, none of this would be a discussion. By trying to defend your action by attacking your attacker with hypothetical scenarios, you didn't make yourself look any better.

I don't think you, or anyone else meant anything personally. Especially during this time of year, let's try to increase in אהבת חינם.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

No, I thought the fellow who attacked me was totally wrong in his second point. I actually didn’t say anything back until he responded to another poster with the same faulty reasoning. The mistake was entirely irrelevant to the point he and I both made. I never defended my mistake, but I strongly disagree with his opinion.

This isn’t hypothetical at all, it comes up all the time in many threads on the forums. He made a point which I find entirely disagreeable.

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

OTOH, this post is still upWould you say your post is definitely purely for “hochiach tochiach” with no hint of “lo sisa alav chet” (according to Rashi)?

To clarify: I have never once defended my mistake. I retracted as soon as I discovered my error. That was never the discussion- at least not on my end, until it was brought up again. I have been purely discussing the ethics of mentioning a better price available elsewhere, the action I took which was called by OP a “garbage move” and sarcastically “brilliant”.

As a married person I am sure you know to never use the word "but" (or add anything else into the conversation, where you might be right) when admitting error or apologizing.
