do you go around offering your coat to anyone who has chosen not to dress quite so warmly as yourself?

I'd give my coat to anyone who was naked, as I in my place and time defined "naked". That was rather the point. ===

No doubt you would, Pip·R. But that wasn't what I asked, was it? So what, precisely, do you assert in so complacent a knockdown tone, to have been 'rather the point'?
