Democrats have all the spontaneity of the House of Windsor. Or, closer to home, they’re closer to what Republicans once were, a party that falls in line not in love.

    Wouldn’t the intellectually honest thing be to ask me what I meant rather than decide your interpretation was correct?

            I see, so it doesn’t matter what I meant to say, it only matters what you feel I said. And that is intellectual honesty.

                Yes. You already said that how you feel about what I said is more important than what I actually meant. Which, apparently, is an intellectually honest position.

                    Me: “If I tell you why your interpretation was wrong, will you agree to believe me?”

                    You: “it doesn’t much matter. I’m not arguing about it. I’m just sharing my feelings.”

                    It sure looks to me like you said it doesn’t matter what I meant, only what you feel about what I meant. Would you care to explain?
