That made it clear to me you simply failed to understand me and I wouldn't know what to do to remedy that problem for you. I'm not about to go through every single word I said to see which one's meaning escaped you in order to teach you linguistic efficiency. You'll have to go back and read everything I said until you get it, because you clearly misunderstood me at some point. And I'm not about to assume what you did understand instead as that usually prompts remarks about my not making any sense, strawmanning, misleading, insulting, and so on.
There is nothing in my post which shows a lack of understanding.
Why did you mention safe environments?
You did mention safe environments didn't you? So I didn't misunderstand that.
Thena said she wasn't too graphic when talking about what happens when children are kidnapped sometimes and so you took that to mean the opposite, that it must have been too graphic.
The opposite meaning to the term not too graphic would be too graphic, so there's no misunderstanding there.
You don't have to go over everything I've said or that you've said it really is just these two things I was asking you to explain.
It is the most annoying cop out to end an argument with "Well I just can't be bothered to lower myself to teach you why I'm right and you're wrong sorry."
Just two simple questions.
It's not just two simple questions. If I thought I could make sense to you, I would. If I thought you had a good point and I didn't, I would admit that instantly. As it is, I understand where you're going with this and I'm telling you you're missing the mark completely. I don't want to have that conversation and that's all.
