“I assumed “ORIGINAL QUESTION” referred to something significant from any perspective.”
No. It was just to distinguish it from all the non-original questions in this thread which you quoted.
“Mods aren’t allowed to block things just because they disagree with them.”
True in theory. But there is no system of checks and balances in the Coffee Room.
“Here’s a reasonable assumption – Writersoul finds all
roadkill depressing, and “extremely depressing” was meant to express a feeling about “roadkill,” not to modify (and thus limit) it, whether that is correct usage or not.”
That would just make it that there are three levels – non-depressing, depressing, and extremely depressing.
“Chuvim’s question assumes (“as bad as”) that Writersoul believes there is something bad about running over a bird or skunk. This appears to be baseless. It is understandable that Writersoul’s feeling about roadkill is that it is depressing, and it can be assumed that she does not feel this way about insects (as demonstrated by your assumption that this non-feeling is universal – “insects which are never killed in a depressing way”).”
You are just adding another kashya on Chuvim’s question.
“No, you theorized, and that theory can be presumed false.”
First of all, since when can theories be presumed false? Second of all, you said “One wonders what Writersoul could POSSIBLY [emphasis mine] have had in that post that needed to be edited out.” In order to adequately answer that all I have to do is provide a possibility.
