Re: "...When I take you syllogism and substitute different but equivalent situations you always (or nearly always) respond insultingly." Probably because I had not posted ANY SYLLOGISM (it only existed inside the rarefied confines of your skull)... nor did you respond with any "equivalent situation". That's probably explains my slight testiness at the illogic of it all.... When faced with someone who fantasizes or imagines that you have said things (that actually, and very clearly, you have not) the first time or two something like that happens one is likely to simply dismiss it as an eccentricity... or some other slight fault or accident. Best to just respond even more simply and directly (but politely). However when odd behavior such as that repeats, (strange fantasies and 'assumptions' and 'perceived implications' that have no basis in reality), one is apt to either get a bit testy with the individual, or else recoil in slight horror upon the realization that there might, just might, be something a bit 'unbalanced' about the individual. How else would any average person respond to someone who 'sees' things that are not there? (A bit disturbing.)
