I understand not everything is perfectly literal. However, your literal point is bad and foolish, and if you were making a different one, it's still not clear what it is. So I'm just going to collapse this discussion believing that you didn't really have a point, and were just running your mouth with some hyperbole you coulnd't in the end justify.

I wasn't expecting it to be taken so literally, you missed the point.

I do get the point, I'm saying that the analogy was bad. The point could have been made better.

Are you not understanding my point on purpose?

naasking | karma 11844 | avg karma 1.61 · | 2024-05-14 22:29:41

My point is that you made a bad point. Just be more precise with your phrasing if that wasn't your intended meaning.

i think you misunderstood the point.

Sounds like you simply didn't understand my point.

Do you understand the point I'm trying to make? Because it doesn't really seem like it.

You've got a point. My argument was misunderstood.

noncoml | karma 5821 | avg karma 4.14 · | 2017-08-18 03:02:24

Ohhh, ok, I got it now. I took it literally and completely missed the point. Stupid me.

Look, I think masklinn very clearly got your point. It just happens that your point was expressed in an unconstructive fashion, and then you keep (again, unconstructively) repeating "you don't get the point" without following up with a clearer explanation of what your point is (notwithstanding that I think we all understand your point).

No, I understood their point. It was a dumb hyperbolic analogy and it received a dumb loaded argument in retort.

What you said here was literally my point. Maybe you misunderstood me?

horrified | karma 1 | avg karma 0.02 · | 2021-08-03 02:46:59

I don't see how it is not what you said. What point were you trying to make?

imwillofficial | karma 1003 | avg karma 0.43 · | 2021-07-23 06:14:05

I found your point to be incomprehensible.

IvyMike | karma 6786 | avg karma 5.42 · | 2013-06-26 21:02:45+00:00

Can't you just tell me what you suppose [1] I was "really trying to say"? As it is, your point is over my head.

[1] Ha!

This is the wrong interpretation of my point

cllns | karma 457 | avg karma 3.13 · | 2012-11-24 23:07:07

I get your point but I don't think you articulated it effectively.

rodgerd | karma 6591 | avg karma 2.05 · | 2015-05-27 22:49:55

I'm sure you had a point, but you didn't make it in an intelligible way.
