I might have, if you hadn't quoted Parthon and then said "Stop trying to hide these things under some cloak of a new-age lie," in that same short post. It didn't sound like a personal attack on his beliefs; it sounded like you were saying he is trying to hide things under some cloak of a new-age lie. Who are you telling to stop trying to hide things in this general address of yours, if not Parthon? Just...everyone?
Ahhh, I see: that post was just aimless. I beg your pardon; when someone says "Stop doing this or that!" I assume that their aim is to get others to stop doing this or that. And that's why I replied with, in so many words, if you shift your perspective, you may see that it's not The Truth that they (Parthon, or the world at large) were doing what you want them to stop doing in the first place.

Think on this (addressed to all) - what is a lie? Is it the denial of truth? Does a lie exist? Is it real? What happens when we believe a lie? Let's address some of these questions.
Phew! I'm going to bed!

Okay: A lie is not always a lie. Sometimes it just looks like a lie, and if you look at it another way, it's the truth.
Like the OP was saying (I think): what looks like good and evil can transform completely if you look at them from another angle, and so can your problems with them.
Sleep tight!
