| Quote (incorygible @ Jan. 02 2008,16:17) | Er...after months of lurking and muttering exasperated remarks in the general direction of the screen, I really can't believe I'm going to make my first comment on this thread in defense of FTK, at least on one narrow point in particular:
My dictionary confirms my general understanding of 'condone' to mean "forgive or overlook" or "approve or sanction, usually reluctantly". Given Skatje's post and comments, and my interpretation thereof, I would suggest that FTK does not misuse the word.
That being said, considering the rest of FTK's 'arguments' on this and other matters, I'm going to go take a shower and pray that she doesn't now identify me as part of a rapidly dwindling subset of reasonable sorts with whom she'd deign to converse. The horror . . .
Edit (there, now I feel fully de-lurked): argy beat me to it. And while we could certainly debate the various connotations of the word, it is silly to hold up FTK's use of it as "quote-mining" in such a target-rich environment. |
Of course.
Personally I just wanted FTK to know what it felt like to say something, and then provide something else, in this case the specific part of the post in question that she felt most significantly encapsulated her point, as further proof and in support of her original argument.
Mostly. And I was interested in the specific part that would be picked.
Now, perhaps, the other pending "questions" can be dealt with in a similar matter?

I also mentioned that He'd have to give me a thorough explanation as to *why* I must "eat human babies".
