I don't pretend to be anything other than what I am here or anywhere and my pasta is on the first page of this thread for everyone to see. I've been making pasta for 55 years and I know a thing or two about it, you can either believe that or not, I really don't care but one thing is a given, if someone is pretending to be something they're not they get found out immediately, cooking is not rocket science. As a professional chef I have a problem when I see an imposter that gets it so wrong that it's comical, like it was purposely done for our amusement but then find out it's a serious attempt to
give instruction on how to make pasta. I understand you and obviously a few others didn't pick up on that, but it's simply not something I could stay quite about and again I'm sorry this caused you grief, it was not my intention and my intention is to always contribute to informing and getting people excited about food and cooking and one thing I'm very experienced in is pasta. If my conduct is seen as something not acceptable I certainly have no problem leaving, at 70, life is too short.
