You wrote the words, you said it yourself and then followed those up with a bold faced statement of words that YOU put in my mouth. Now you're acting incredulous as if I had lost my temper. The only person who needs to calm down here is you and when you do so I will continue conversing with you. My side of the exchange has been nothing but civil. You sir are the only one here who needs to calm down.
I stand by my the original statement, and I'm willing to bet most people who read it recognised it as the rhetorical device it was.
I used quote marks to quote exactly what you said, and used a rhetorical device to explain the contradiction.
If you don't want to accept an apology that I didn't expect you to take it literally, what can I do. If anyone else wants to tell me that they thought I was putting words in your mouth and I have been uncivil, I will crawl humbly and beg forgiveness.
If we can get back to the discussion, maybe you can explain how you would balance out a system you know doesn't work, with the concept of giving them the power to hand out life or death judgements.
