1984 Foreword "fascistic disposition"

[Paul Nightingale]

Thankyou. As far as our interpretations are concerned I'm happy to agree
to disagree (as I've indicated before). I would hope, perhaps in vain,
that this isn't about winning and losing.

But:
 
> 
> Yes of course but why DID you delete my examples in your reply?
> Not that it's a big deal.

Not a devious ploy. I sometimes find it difficult to follow when people
simply repost everything and leave the reader to navigate their way
through five, six, ten different narratives. I made it clear that your
examples weren't an issue, which means I accepted what you were saying
there, so why not delete?

And then:
 
> 
> 
> Do you really mean "contradict" or do you only mean face a difficulty.
I
> did of course face a difficulty.

Precisely. And finally:

> As someone once said, all readings are misreadings.

But hey, it's all we've got.
