I said thanks. I think Hammy should always speak for me.

You spoke for yourself. I corrected your error.

I wasn't referring to what you meant, or your intended meaning, I corrected what your words conveyed: the semantic meaning of what you said. I pointed out it was incorrect.

I do that all the time. I don't try and read people's intentions. I take them at face value—although some others sure as hell love trying to read my mind, and misattirbuting negative intentions to me. And when I tell them they're wrong, as only I can read my mind, if they double-down on their false negative perception of me that's just a one way ticket to losing me as a friend. True friends know I'm not full of shit—You should try it sometime, as, ironically, you wrongly concluded that I was speaking of what you meant when I didn't say anything that said anything about what you meant. I was dealing with what you actually said. And saying that you got it backwards.

Got it? No? Probably not. But my response to you may benefit others who can see my point. Here's hoping.

Actually not Hammy, but thanks for trying to justify your behavior. It's cute.
