I’m using “following it” as in any capacity ... if you’re here ... you’re following it.
Well you’re using the term incorrectly - for example this inane discussion you and I are having has nothing to do with the article, so how am I currently “following it” by the fact that this post appears in that thread?
I’m totally missing your point. Are you saying that I should not have commented on the article after I determined that it was written by some liberal hack?
