Default Re: What does the sentence mean?

Which part is the problem here? I felt maybe? Feel can be used to mean believe/think. Or is it so? So (as used here) is a proform which substitutes for a verb phrase to avoid the need for repetition.
So a gloss would be :
I thought he was wrong but I didn't say that I thought he was wrong at the time.
