You can twist my words all you like. I get insulted by things you've actually said and meant, not things I've twisted or turned into something you never intended to say.
You said, quite matter of factly, that I "advocate the death and destitution of many millions of families and children". I didn't twist your words; that is a direct quote. That is what I got offended by, and what I think went over the line. bozo did the same every time he addressed me as an "arsehole" rather than use my username or my actual name.
As for the 100% thinking thing; our discussions came down to different types of work; those that involved physical skill, and those that involve mental skill. Now, one can argue that any job involving physical skill also requires mental skill, but it is meaningless if we are trying to compare jobs. You said my job required "no physical difficulty"; well, if you're going to imply that your job requires thinking about wires, then why can't I do the same and say that typing on my keyboard is a physical activity? Or maybe going down to the server room, and shifting machines around? Both jobs require both sets of skills, but both jobs use one skill more than the other. That was the only point I was making.
If you think that's playing to the crowd, so be it. I clearly can't change your mind or get you to apologise.
