not me. i know what you wrote.

i was not in analytical mode. if I were, it would make a difference
because i would want to be precise and get what you wrote right, but i
was in dialectical mode and like plato and unlike aristotle I was not
concerned about getting what you wrote right or representing your ideas
or thoughts faithfully. there was no malice involved. i didn't set up
any strawmen. just keeping the ball bouncing. keeping bernie alive.
