I have noticed a tendency amongst those of us who go by the netname of
GOD to be exceptionally diligent at correcting others, but should
anyone criticise or correct GOD then there is only ever deathly
silence.  Often the statement which caused the correction is then
repeated a month or two later, presumably in the hope that it has been
forgotten.

Not too many of the "if" words, just a "presumably".
