What part of the passage above indicates how *I* evaluate your moral
character? I merely translated Greg's post so that comprehension-impaired
people could understand it more readily, because obviously neither you nor
sf understood what Greg wrote. I don't know anything about your moral
character, but you have just revealed something about your IQ.

My assumptions were that I understood what Greg wrote, and that you did not.
I'm pretty sure that the first assumption was warranted, because I have
excellent reading comprehension. I'm COMPLETELY sure that the second
assumption was warranted, because of your reply to sf, which indicated your
mistaken belief that Greg was implying some kind of moral turpitude on your
part because of your participation in the school's activities.
Your reaction indicates that my explanation of what Greg wrote went
completely over your head. Do you frequently get cause and effect confused?
Are you familiar with the phrase "post hoc ergo propter hoc" as a logical
fallacy, but a typical method of insinuation?

Er...yeah, fine. Somehow I feel completely unthreatened, but have it your
way.
