I didn't say 'FFS', Don. If you look, I was quoting Richard back at himself.

As to your, "I say that one single sentence taken from any text, can never give an accurate assessment of the thrust of the whole, absent the context.
Now you tell me that is wrong, if you can, in honesty, do so."

I dealt with this in my reply to Richard [in which I apologise for failing to close the 'underline' instruction which should only have underlined the one word 'asked']. To reiterate: sometimes it can, sometimes not; it depends both on the content of the single sentence quoted and of its content. I should myself feel that that sentence originally cited by bobad [which, I remind you, you claimed 'a misquotation' but now admit you haven't the knowledge to maintain such an accusation] is strong enough in itself to provide at least evidence of lethally aggressive intentions in its formulator, whatever the rest of the passage in which it appears (which you have not cited to show that the sentence quoted is in any way atypical of its context) may say.

Do you, honestly now Don, not feel this at least a tenable position on my part?
