    You know what I meant, I know you know what I meant, everyone else reading knows you know what I meant. What are you hoping to accomplish by playing dumb?

        “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

        ― Jean-Paul Sartre

          You are the one who jumped to a conclusion and proceeded to liken me to a nazi. Quoting classical thinkers won’t change that.

                My content was that you a like to a Nazi. I’m gathering that you’re one of those people who thinks words are just for insulting, and don’t have deeper meaning.

                  I did not realize that was content. You surely don’t expect some stranger on the internet to infer some deeper meaning to being likened to a nazi? In what way am I like a nazi?
