OK Lilly I will try, I made a statement, without any reference to government, it was not about government, The statements parameters were that I was talking about 100 people their wealth and my reactions to it.
I felt Tibs trying to force into that definition 'government', which I was not talking about, as any government would be outside of the statement as written.
I refute any statements of others telling me what I have written by paraphrasing it, or telling me what I think. I try to when ever I make statements about others work to use phrases like 'it seems', 'I think'. The English I use is based on usage and that is clear when you read my posts, in that I never (to my knowledge) use academic terms like straw-man, or any other terminology conventionally used in academic debate, unless the term has become part of common usage in my culture.
As an Absurdist I know that I can draw meaning from a statement, but I am not able to tell the writer what he meant by that statement only what I can draw from it. As such when I am told by another what my statement means, I have to object, as that person can only say what it means to them.
I object to being told this is bullshit, that I am flaming, that I am being deliberately obtuse or a child, because I do not want to redefine what I have written. I have no concerns about another's interpretation of my words, but I object to them telling me their interpretation takes presidency over mine and therefore I should alter my text.
