Your point was not missed. We are all of us (of this I have no doubt) shocked by the actions in the article. Since I posted the article, and was myself quite shocked by the actions described in it, I know that my posting of the article was about what happened in the article- the facts of the slaughter itself. Your post was not about the slaughter, though, your post was about the semantics of the description of the slaughter. I'm sure we all realize that, don't we?

The slaughter of a teacher, by murdering terrorists in front of a group of students is what my post was all about. It was??? This is what you said in its entirety: "The Washington Post calls these murdering animals freedom fighters? Shame! Apparently this did not meet the appropriate level of atrocity in front of students!" Surely you've taken those aptitude tests where they give you a paragraph and then ask what the paragraph is about. Surely you can't be serious that that paragraph is about "the slaughter of a teacher." It's clearly about the Post and its shameful labeling. That's even more clear given that you exaggerated the Post's labeling. And in retrospect by your defense of your exaggeration. What you say you intended is not what you posted. I don't read minds, only posts. Too bad it was missed. I seriously doubt that anyone missed the extraordinary depravity of that murder.
