I didn't say or mean to imply that you were a liar.

I accepted your explanation and when I read your explanation I was like 'aha, i see that you are genuine in wanting to have a discussion about Goleman's ideas'.

With respect to the link I posted I wasn't meaning to cite the guy as being an authority. What I was meaning to do was to provide a link to some information / arguments as to why it is that Goleman's work is considered problematic in academic circles. One can follow up the claims (by checking out the sources that he cites) and make up ones own mind.

The guy who made the link does indeed have something of a personal agenda. Having a personal agenda isn't necessarily a bad thing, however, as it often inspires one to really think about precisely what is problematic with what Goleman (for example) is saying.
