Excellent summary, thanks.

That almost worked. How did you -do- that?

??? I just quoted what he wrote. Of course I snipped a few irrelevant
words here and there...

I thought it might have been an automatic text scrambler that somehow
preserves grammar (or lack thereof) or something like dissociated-
press.
Selective snipping is rather manipulative.

You unaware of the historical precedent - JJ has this habit of taking
a moderately complex argument and snipping all but the last
sentence, thereby hiding the entire point.

- yes, I must be unaware of it. Now that you mention it, I find his
choice of context to quote bizarre.

- whatever JJ is doing, your response was, well, was sorta bizarre in
its own way. Not a parody, but purposefully manipulating his words and
presenting them as though he had actually said them. I've never seen
that before.
