No, the comment was motivated by your teasing Afew for his failure to choose a more exciting (to you) non-English language for his experimental diary.
Well, afew, that was a good initiative to have a thread in a foreign language, but why did you chose that language I already find myself speaking all too much ?
If you wanted to discuss my comment, you could have done it on the thread that it was part of. I honestly don't know what the point is of taking a comment of mine out of context like that, except to troll-bait me.

Please, Migeru. She clearly explained why she felt uneasy discussing it. Emotional reasons. Possibly a fear of being accused of various internet crimes.

I honestly don't know what the point is of taking a comment of mine out of context like that, except to troll-bait me.

Then please think it over again. The correct (intended) interpretation of your comment is what is out of context here, the way she misunderstood it isn't.

Moreover, you are quoting her line out of context :-) As I read it, it was a half-joking remark.

I think I should add a point on humour to my draft in the ET Group Therapy Session thread.

The problem is that I'm getting jaded.

Apparently it's ok to misinterpret people as long as you do it out of context?

And I am quoting her in what she said to elicit what she quotes, which I don't know how it can be construed to be out of contest.

  1. You left out the :-) of the comment.
  2. Ask afew.

Touche.

Can we put this whole matter to rest? Or am I going to have to ask Jerome to make all my comments over the past 48 hours "editorial"?

What's the point of learning, if you erase everything? The batch of embarrassment is a good teacher. ;)
