This from the guy who says he doesn't deny Baptism.

It might be strange, but Paul explains himself.  He doesn't say
"Baptism is really pointless, so I'm glad I didn't bother with it."

Instead he says that, because of the factions arising, he's glad
that someone else baptized them.  So it's not so strange after all.
