So you didn't understand that inserting a few words into to my sentences is the same as changing my words? Oh dear! Sorry but I really don't think I can help you here with English lessons.
Quote:You can reiterate your admiration for madness and idiocy so long as it is driven by conviction all you want.
If you can show me anywhere I have 'admired madness or idiocy so long as it is driven by conviction' I will kiss your digital feet. You are of course deliberately misquoting me from which I deduce that you are fully aware that you made a mistake - or two or three.
Quote:What does Naomi Campbell's appearance have to do with lunatics and the unintended effects of their desires for the pain and suffering of others?
I don't think I can explain this for you in words of one syllable but if you look at my words again you will doubtless understand that I gave that as an example of being able to admire someone for one facet of their being whilst deploring another facet. The clue is in my opening words, 'Another example'.... It is not a difficult concept and I did express it with perfect clarity so I don't see how else I can help you to understand. So let me just repeat my original words for you - 'you have to admire his courage'. Not his madness or idiocy or his desire for the pain and suffering of others - his courage. Clear now?
