Ubiq
I missed it.
Mind repeating it.
You offered to explain it.
The closest I could find is
“The quote is not about words or language. That is not at all the subject of the law. The law is about people.”
Frankly while that sounds like a good opening for an explanation, by itself it falls short.
Break it down and explain
What does it say about people, how does the addition of the emoticon change the equation.
What exactly is the nuance.
In other words, give substance.
Not lengthy expositions on Josef. Stick to the text a bit.
Then you started a different track.
Also good.
You say my answer clearly shows I missed the boat. Well that’s entirely possible and even probable, especially in this case where my position actually is starting as “I basically don’t get it ”
So the sensible and rational thing to do in a discussion is to say, no you totally got it wrong. X is what he means, and this is how you understand it into his words.
Don’t you see the genius, how he encapsulated this whole thought into these few pithy words!?!
That would be called explaining.
Saying “buddy you missed the point sorry have a nice day ” doesn’t sound like someone who is in the explaining mode.
Frankly to me it sounds like someone who has no clue what he is talking about, thought it sounded educated to call something genius because someone else called it genius, and is now stuck holding the bag.
I’m sorry if I’m being too hard on you. I don’t mean it personally.
Just I thought I was going to have a logical rational conversation /argument and it turned into another
“you know why you are wrong just admit it like a good boy ” type “conversation ”
It’s like sitting down to a great looking meal and finding out it’s all tofu
