GAW: “To quote the mods:
You make a lot of assumptions of other posters thoughts and motives. It might be best to allow them to speak on their own behalves.”
That comment was actually made based on an incorrect assumption. I haven’t responded yet because it will take time to figure out how to phrase things in a way that will be accurate but not offensive. Basically, in the cases that they were talking about, there were no assumptions being made. It had to do with reading comprehension and logic skills which are things that I happen to be an expert in and have been hired to teach. Based on a test that I took (and the reason I was asked to teach these subjects), my reading comprehension and logic skills are better than aprroximately 94% of the population. That means that approximately 94% of the population can read the same thing that I am and not understand what they are reading. So they will think that what I am reading is an assumption (unless they listen to my explanation and are able to understand it).
In this case, you are correct that it would have been an assumption if I had written, “you are saying it is assur to wear braids”. That is why I did not phrase it that way, but instead wrote “It SEEMS..” Perhaps I should have added the words “to me”. What I meant was that was how I had understood your words.
I no longer remember exactly what that was in response to or what the point was, so when I have a chance I will have to go back and reread the thread. However, I think it may have had to do with the fact that you were making a comparison to women not covering their hair. But I will check later, bli neder.
