My goodness, are we feeling a bit touchy?

I conceded to Byron that I had used the word "first," as he noted that that implied immutability.

And as you have no doubt read in the post immediately prior to your most recent one here, I agreed that there was a reasonable implication that that was what I meant.

However, as you have also undoubtedly read, there is an alternative reading that doesn't mean that at all.

My concession was to Byron, not my view on the meaning of words.

Given how you've elected to read what I wrote, I see I neglected to add 'when you're not,' to the end of 'Nobody like to be told,"You're wrong."


Regardless, it seems odd that you feel the need to construe "dislike" into the emotion of "hate" and seeming imply I'm engaging in the classic psychological defense mechanism of projection.

And then as in your prior post you again engage in ad hominum attack with your "barking spider" ditty.

I'm puzzled. You seem bright enough to defend your ideas with out such resort.

Suffice it to say you haven't. Nor have you been able to provide a single word in the English language that no longer means what it meant.

I wish you could be a little more transparent about your viewpoint so we could discuss it as adults.

Help! I've fallen up and can't get down!
