Democrats have all the spontaneity of the House of Windsor. Or, closer to home, they’re closer to what Republicans once were, a party that falls in line not in love.

it's not a game. it's just intellectual honesty
I see. The idea that you can interpret my comment any way you like but I are not allowed to interpret any of your comments except 100% literally is intellectual honesty to you.
Interesting.
I explained my interpretation. you lampooned me using quotes. it's just a matter of intellectually honest engagement.
Wouldn't the intellectually honest thing be to ask me what I meant rather than decide your interpretation was correct?
if it's not, then you could correct it. what you did was argue with a strawman.
If I tell you why your interpretation was wrong, will you agree to believe me?
it doesn't much matter. I'm not arguing about it. I'm just sharing my feelings.
I see, so it doesn't matter what I meant to say, it only matters what you feel I said. And that is intellectual honesty.
I'm not arguing about it. I'm telling you how I feel. you lampooned me then argued against a position I didn't take.
Yes. You already said that how you feel about what I said is more important than what I actually meant. Which, apparently, is an intellectually honest position.
I said no such thing
Me: "If I tell you why your interpretation was wrong, will you agree to believe me?"
You: "it doesn't much matter. I'm not arguing about it. I'm just sharing my feelings."
It sure looks to me like you said it doesn't matter what I meant, only what you feel about what I meant. Would you care to explain?
look at how different, syntactically, my statement is from your accusation.
