I really don't believe he was criticizing the Creedmore or the round. He was saying to many shooters think that it makes them 1000 yd experts just because the firearm is capable of it. You know, folks that shoot maybe half a dozen rounds per year.
I agree. Muzzleloaders are a breed of their own. Everyone is different and likes a different bullet, powder charge, etc. With an ML you have to play with all these factors until you find its sweet spot.
The shoe comment....
Generally means...if you make an in general comment...and someone gets defensive (you, in this case) then that comment, whatever it was, applies to them. 
It really is pretty dang amazing when you actually see people try to shoot past 200 yards
they say, my whooper dooper zing zanger will shoot 10,000 yards, but can you shoot it past 200 is the question
I think he's agreeing with what you say. Just because a firearm is capable of a 1000 yds, doesn't mean a newbie or soemone that doesn't shoot often, a 1000 yd shooter. The cartridge is capable and you are correct, the shooter is not.
The shoe comment....
As for the Karen pics you keep posting....is that you? You're the only one getting butt hurt over my not drinking the CM Kool aid...
You and another member started this with the passive aggressive posts. I personally know for a fact, that at least one of you were using a 300wm just a yr or so ago.... because anything less wouldn't kill a deer dead enough.
You can keep arguing your point all you like...I'm not the only one that thinks as I do.
Read the post just above this one. There is a mystique out there that the CM makes anyone a distance shooter. My problem with the CM is purely with that "mystique", not with the actual round itself.
And no amount of name calling is going to change my mind.
Edit...the post is actually a few above this one now.

Remi, my problem with the CM has nothing to do with the round itself....I've stated that numerous times. I think I finally got the wording correct with "mystique". The CM has it. Maybe not in your circles, but it's out there. That round didn't take off like it did for no reason....it was to make everyone a distance shooter....or at least make it possible. The problem is (for me) everyone of the 6.5s I listed can do the same thing...some even better...but yet that mystique isn't there. I blame Hornady marketing for that. Nothing personal towards you or anyone else.
Or any other rifle with a qualified shooter behind the stock....@Tenntrapper , you beat me to it! I was just about to ask where the koolaid was!
And since we are stomping on toes, Im going to go ahead and say it: a 6.5 jesusmoor doesnt do ANYTHING that a 260 rem hasnt been doing for decades already.
Hey now, don't be knocking my 308....
Put 2 rounds in the same hole verifying my zero before deer season rolls around with mine a couple weeks ago, and called it good. And my new SFAR with new rings and new scope, all put together straight outta the box, was 1.5 inches high and right with the first shot. I'll take that any day over a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
I know, there are plenty of folks that don't care for the recoil on anything bigger than a 223, but a rifle that shoots well is a blessing, whatever caliber it is in.

I'm no hater of the 6.5 CM, but the 6.5X55 has been doing it over 125 Years! lol@Tenntrapper , you beat me to it! I was just about to ask where the koolaid was!

Yes sir, a hin barrel on any fire arm is gonna give accuracy pure hell. That's the story of the Enfield .303. That barrel would heat up fast and then she would shoot wherever she wanted.
You just brought up another important aspect of firearms.....like anything else, if you maintain it, it will serve you well.
