Fugazi,
For the record, "I cannot believe that you believe X," can be understood either of two distinct ways:
1. "You believe X, and I find that objectionable."
Or, 2. "I have come to the conclusion that it is unlikely that you believe X."
Unfortunately, in this forum, we are forced to communicate without the benefit of vocal inflection. Sometimes, this contributes to misunderstandings. I have the impression that you interpreted a certain statement in the first manner, above, and have not considered applying the second interpretation. If that is not the case, please disregard my attempted clarification (with my apologies.)
Incidentally, I am addressing this issue for the second and last time, in the hope that we can finally retire it. It has grown tiresome. (Please do not misinterpret my comment as an attempt to censor you. You are entirely within your rights to continue beating this dead horse, as is everyone else. I will simply click past any further post on this issue, as is my right.)
Good luck to you,
RB |
