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.

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.

Could you please explain what you meant?

it doesn't matter if i believe you. i'm not going to argue with you about what you meant. there is no evidence i could concieve of that would be able to contradict your self-report of your intentions. so what i believe doesn't matter.

is that any clearer?

Yes. It is clearer. It is clearer that you are just a troll and I will be flagging you as such from now on. I do not advise you to continue trolling me.
