That is correct. His words, not mine.

gregdoesit | karma 7630 | avg karma 17.74 · | 2023-03-16 17:50:01

Yes - he is referring to me.

djeikyb | karma 268 | avg karma 1.51 · | 2014-12-27 17:43:23

Nope. He's saying it outright.

m0nty | karma 3269 | avg karma 4.77 · | 2008-05-17 12:45:32+00:00

Well, I'm just quoting what he said.

mateuszf | karma 1088 | avg karma 1.63 · | 2022-04-23 09:52:15

Nope, I think what he said and what he thinks are different things.

enkid | karma 2936 | avg karma 2.98 · | 2021-09-15 06:46:15

I agree that's what he probably intended, but that's definitely not what he said.

Mithaldu | karma 8182 | avg karma 2.9 · | 2017-09-04 17:15:21+00:00

You're putting words into his mouth. Particularly the first one is not at all what he wrote.

nr2x | karma 2923 | avg karma 2.75 · | 2021-01-07 06:16:04+00:00

And yet that’s not quite what he said, is it?

ausbah | karma 2625 | avg karma 2.83 · | 2019-03-27 14:42:08

Okay? That doesn't automatically invalid what he is saying.

aquateen | karma 199 | avg karma 1.52 · | 2012-03-26 10:34:34

No, he's not saying that at all. That's explicit if you just read his last sentence.

excalibur | karma 2847 | avg karma 2.57 · | 2018-12-19 18:57:02+00:00

Obviously I'm aware that he didn't write it, and that it doesn't necessarily reflect his personal views. I was being lazy, but it's also true that when most people read those words they picture them coming out of his mouth.

antonzabirko | karma 285 | avg karma 1.52 · | 2021-07-23 04:54:57

I'm talking about what he said, not holistically.

NerdsCentral | karma 131 | avg karma 3.05 · | 2012-04-21 04:09:49

He did not actually say that - but it is the implication of his comment.

JonnieCache | karma 17245 | avg karma 4.71 · | 2013-12-08 19:01:02

Where exactly does he say that?

cwillu | karma 4548 | avg karma 3.14 · | 2023-12-26 20:07:56

He's quoting the text I mentioned.

alanfalcon | karma 3459 | avg karma 4.33 · | 2015-11-24 23:51:37+00:00

No, what he wrote makes sense as written in this context.

slowhadoken | karma 314 | avg karma 0.59 · | 2023-12-05 16:22:49

Correct. He's ignoring context.

celticninja | karma 5517 | avg karma 1.67 · | 2020-04-01 14:11:19

does that somehow invalidate what he is saying?

nik61 | karma 36 | avg karma 0.44 · | 2011-10-15 11:16:07+00:00

It seems to me that that's exactly what he says - but perhaps I read it wrongly...

Tomte | karma 149785 | avg karma 5.23 · | 2024-04-17 13:08:58

He says that explicitly in the text.
