"Plane used to be able to see through all the BS and see that. Now he's just as partisan as, well, you are. I guess when you have to spend all your time defending a loser administration, you lose your objectivity."
Note here that Plane is the subject of this paragraph, although the paragraph is in response to a post by Sirs. In fact, the only reference to Sirs is a comparison of Plane's partisanship to his. The last sentence of the paragraph was intended to be, and is, a direct reference to Plane, and not to Sirs himself, despite his continued protestations to the contrary, in effect calling me a liar when I have tried to explain that to him.
Now if I were to be talking to any one of you and I happened to say that 'You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink', you would know that is not a direct reference to you. Odds are you don't even own a horse, or have any dealings with horses. Sirs probably doesn't own a horse, nor have any dealings with them, though from my vantage point he bears a strong resemblance to the south end of a northbound one. That observation aside, that is an example of the colloquial use of the pronoun 'you'. That is a common, conversational use, that does not necessarily mean that 'you', as it is used in that proverb, has anything to do with whomever I said that to.
Sirs can't seem to understand that. Apparently he cannot understand nuanced speech. Unless it is his, such as when he refers to 'What a tangled web we weave', then tries to weasel out of actually accusing anyone of deception by not finishing the axiom (when everyone knows how it ends).
No, Sirs apparently enjoys spending his time pretending he knows better than I do what I'm thinking, or what I mean when I say something. He's quick to point out all the imaginary hidden meanings and motives I have for saying what I say, and as much as calling me a liar when I point out to him that he is mistaken. I've never seen him produce a degree in psychiatry, let alone one that would enable him to psychoanalyze someone he has never met in person, so I can only imagine he either has a hugely inflated ego, or just loves to try to degrade others for his own self amusement.
So, I have decided to ignore him. I'm tired of being told what I think, and what I really meant to say, and being called a liar on the sly. Screw it. Enough is enough. And by the way, when he begins to whine that I don't reply to his posts because I can't think of an adequate response, remember, you heard the real reason why here first.
