OneOfMany -One Of Many what? Do you have MPD?
“Read up on connotation vs. denotation. After that, we can talk.”
I did and this is irrevelant. A connotation is something that the author means but it isn’t an exact definition of the word. While a denotation is one of the definitions. An example that I saw is -“He is a snake”. Obviously the author can’t mean it as one the definitions of snake because a snake isn’t a human. So the author is using “snake” to mean a “sneaky” or something similar -type of person. Here – a negative connotation of “burden” is part of the denotation/definition and still he should have been Dan me L’caf Zecus that I was using a different meaning. But you come along and state that it isn’t even a definition, but a connotation of the author. So now you are a mind reader -you know what I meant when I wrote “burden”! What Chutzpah!
“And that YOU in fact did exactly such when you posted your opinion on this thread. So I guess there’s wrongdoing all around, then…”
To defend yourself -you try turning the tables. Sorry, this doesn’t work with me. When s/o starts a topic the implication is that people will comment and/or argue. As a matter of fact, my first post was in agreement with him. But then a side issue came up between me and him. And you saw an opportunity to create even more Machlokes and you seized this opportunity. Why would you do this?
So you guess wrong -there isn’t wrongdoing all around -just by a few! I hope I have given you some food for thought! And this last sentence btw is probably a connotation.
