Why does god want to cut off women's hands?

[Captain Colostomy]

Who is pretending?

You. The post says what it says.

I said it could have been misunderstood, and by your accounting, you did.

I understood it just fine. That it was later revised does not mean that I misunderstood it.

But you are off on some tangent, attempting to show that this was widely the case. It was not. The confusion is obviously yours. I only say that you didn't help things by continuing the discussion from your end under this notion. It's not really a big deal, except if you make it out to be. Considering your tenacity, I'm guessing you have a compulsive need to think you're right...so don't let me dissuade you.

Bleh.

Er, pot-kettle, takes two to tango, etc. You seem to be fine with playing he-said she-said until you're losing, at which point your opponent has a compulsive need to think he's right. That's really lame.

I alluded to confusion, and simple misunderstandings...my initial thought was to just clear things out, no big deal. Your idea was to insist, for yourself and others, that you see the correct way to interpret the progression of posts. Further evidence of your pig headedness is by your use of the word 'losing' above. This isn't a win/lose situation to me...but you seem to consider it so. Now that's lame. I'd also think your post in another thread where you claim to enjoy arguing is telling as well.

Welp...I think that I've wasted enough time derailing this thread...which wasn't supposed to be about interpreting why a poster quoted a verse of yours when he did. Time to let this go, methinks. Hopefully youthinks too.
