You shouldn't feel the need to defend yourself against Sheldon.
We've all been targeted by his irate brain farts and supreme
ignorance of all things kitchen related. The only time you should
feel the need to give pause to rethink your position is when he
agrees with you on something.

History Lesson:

30 years ago here, when people were more refined and polite, Sheldon
was a valued poster. His contributions were much less kooky and
stuck to basic stuff he knew. Even if he shared some of his TIAD,
people still thanked him while other quietly barfed on their
keyboards.

Then about 15-20 years ago he started getting more confident with
his ignorance. He thought he was a God. Wise people had enough
bullshit and started challenging him and he just got obnoxious and
defensive with his unwavering opinions and misinformation even in
the face overwhelming evidence against him (now everybody had Web
access, too). He fell from grace (as he knew it) and is now the
laughing stock of RFC. Now he has to pay Morrow $5/month just to be
his virtual lackey.

ObFood: Most of my food talk and culinary ventures are over on RFC
on Facebook these days. I could cut and paste them, but that feels
like cheating or double dipping. Plus I have to post pictures on a
different site and quote links... nah. Food talk doesn't get much
attention here except the me-me-me's.
