No, I read no post of Jeff's. Did Jeff object to any post of mine? I haven't been reading here, but took a peek in to see what CH was up to, since i'd posted to him and gotten no reply. Curiosity. And saw that exchange between him and brees. And i'm so weak, i couldn't resist.
What I said to you was not a quote, or anything that purported falsely to be a quote, you understand. I was making a point about your use of the word 'interpretation,' and about all the convenient 'interpretation' going on here, which reminded me of the way 'interpretation' has been used so frequently by politicians and lawyers and such, like Clinton, to evade taking responsibility for.... shall we call them 'inaccuracies'? I considered it 'fair comment,' the basis for the comparison having been explained, and the fact that it was comment and not quotation not having been obfuscated.
I feel it is uncivil to make cracks about the dearly departed, btw. I had departed and am very dear to you, I know. And I feel it is very uncivil to make cracks or negative characterizations on a moderated thread about individuals who are not allowed to reply. Does that ever happen on your thread?
I can't figure out why you are offended by being compared to someone who interprets plain words that really require no interpretation-- words like 'is.' (Other words one could mention are just as plain, of course.) Why is this? Because you disapprove of his self-serving interpretations? |
